Healthy pork chop recipes

Pork is high in protein and relatively easy to cook healthy, low-fat meals. Pork chops can be paired with a wide variety of flavors, from sweet to spicy, providing options to suit any palate. The popular healthy pork chop is mainly prepared by grilling. The most difficult part of cooking pork chops is keeping them juicy-these lean cuts tend to dry out very easily. A chop that is about an inch thick will be less likely to dry out than thinner cuts. These delicious recipes include sauce and the marinade to keep the meat moist and flavorful while still providing a healthy meal.
