Ingredients
4 raw boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
1 cup barbecue sauce, your favorite brand
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup mixed chopped vegetables, such as red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and onion
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, optional
1 tablespoon chopped parsley, optional for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish and place the boneless pork chops inside in a single layer. Season the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using. In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, chicken broth, and brown sugar until smooth. Pour the sauce evenly over the pork chops, then sprinkle the chopped vegetables over the top and around the dish. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the sauce is thick and glossy. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving, then spoon extra sauce over the top and garnish with parsley if desired.
Serving Tips
Serve these saucy pork chops with mashed potatoes, white rice, roasted vegetables, buttered noodles, or a simple green salad. The extra sauce is perfect for spooning over rice or potatoes.
Cooking Tip
For the best texture, avoid overbaking the pork chops. Boneless pork chops can dry out quickly, so check them near the end of cooking and remove them from the oven once they reach a safe internal temperature of 145°F.
