Ingredients
Instructions
- Marinate the pork chops in Italian salad dressing, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and Accent for several hours.
- Preheat the grill or oven broiler.
- Broil the pork chops outside on the grill or inside in the oven, approximately 10 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, marinate the pork chops overnight to enhance the flavors. If you don't have Accent, a little extra garlic salt or onion powder can be a good substitute. Feel free to switch up the salad dressing; a balsamic vinaigrette can also work well. Always let the meat rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain juices.
Serving Suggestions
These pork chops are delicious served alongside Karen'S Coleslaw Dressing or a fresh salad. They pair well with roasted vegetables or a simple rice pilaf for a complete meal. For a refreshing drink, consider serving with Ghostly Glow Punch for a fun twist.
Storage & Reheating

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use boneless pork chops instead of center-cut?
Yes, boneless pork chops can be used, but be mindful of the cooking time as they may cook faster. Ensure they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
What can I use if I don't have Worcestershire sauce?
If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, you can substitute with soy sauce mixed with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice. This will give a similar tangy flavor to the marinade.
How can I tell when the pork chops are done cooking?
The best way to check if pork chops are done is to use a meat thermometer. They should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). The meat should also be slightly firm to the touch and no longer pink in the center.
