Just A Little Fast Dinner - Boneless Pork Loin Chops

Every week I want to try to give a fast but healthy recipe for dinner, because let's face it, with 99 items on our "To Do" list and only 24 hours in a day, most of the time McDonalds seems like the best option. One of the best things about cooking a good meal instead is the power of left overs. If you can dedicate thirty minutes one or two times a week to cooking, you can significantly decrease the amount of eating out you do just by eating your left overs.


Tonight's feature: Delicious boneless pork loin chops :)


This is so simple and easy, in fact I'm doing it right now! :) All you have to do is get a package of thin sliced, lean, boneless pork chop loins. (I get mine from Publix, but where ever you prefer to buy meat is fine.) Other than that, all you need is the Amazing Taste Pork Seasoning (it's a small red packet, ask your butcher or cashier if you're unsure where to find it.) You'll also need about 1/4 cup of olive oil.


And that's IT. Easy right?


Set your oven to broil. While it's heating up, mix 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup water, and your seasoning in a bowl. Open up the pork loins and dip them in the bowl one at a time, then lay them out on a pan lined with foil. (You can use the excess marinade over the top if you want.) Then, when the oven is heated, stick them in for about 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature of your pork chops is at least 145 - 150. You can also bake these, grill them, or sautee them if you have more time and aren't running around doing laundry or in my case, homework. 


They are so tasty and warm up great as left overs! You can have them with some grilled veggies or some of your favorite sides. I'm on a low carb kick right now, so I'll just be having the chops by themselves. :)


Not only is this a great, fast meal, but it's PACKED with good protein and is carb friendly. Oh, and did I mention cheap? ENJOY :)
