Moist citrus infused pork chops!

Hey folks. It’s time for some pork chops recipe. I honestly don’t think I shared a pork chop recipe since my fried pork chops, which was years ago!

You'll love the simplicity of these moist and citrus-infused pork chops!

 

In this post I’m sharing my Lemon Garlic Pork Chops. These pork chops are baked and broiled and need very few ingredients. You can use boneless or bone in pork chops, it doesn’t matter. This is a salt free recipe, meaning you won’t need any salt ( keep in mine this is pork, and pork is naturally high in sodium). In a replacement of salt, we’re using lemons!

I’m getting into the habit of using more fresh ingredients, such as vegetables and fruits to season many of my dishes. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t be doing this for ALL of my upcoming recipes, but I will definitely be doing this a lot in the future.

These juicy lemon garlic pork chops are full of flavor, no salt needed!

I baked these pork chops uncovered, and they were still juicy as ever! The lemon juice really added a lot of zest.  I wasn’t tempted to add any salt, or additional seasoning once I plated these pork chops.

I simply serve my lemon garlic pork chops along with rice, and peas.

These lemon garlic pork chops are the star of the show! No fancy side dishes needed.

    This recipe was SO easy to make. Love that I found your website – I’ve started to get bored with cooking since he enjoys ALL of my meals – needed to shake his taste buds up a little bit. I will be cooking this again! Thank you for sharing your gift.

    I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! Because I forgot to pick up a lemon, I used lemon pepper seasoning instead. Not too much. I sprinkled it on like I would regular pepper. OMG!!! It added a zing and zest I wasn’t ready for but that was oh so good! I’m glad I came to the site for some inspiration. Rosie you never disappoint! Thank you again. 🙂
