Ingredients (6)

For safe meat preparation, reference the USDA website.

Steps (5)

  1. 1

    Place pork chops in a shallow dish or Glad zipper bag. Pour the pickle juice over the chops.

  2. 2

    Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, up to overnight. Turn the chops occasionally to make sure they get enough pickle juice.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Drain off and discard the brine and dry the chops well. Season all over with the ranch seasoning mix.

  4. 4

    In a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil until very hot but not smoking. Place chops in the skillet and cook until browned and crisp on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the chops and transfer the whole skillet to the oven immediately.

  5. 5

    Roast the pork chops for about 10 minutes, until the meat reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with pickle chips and fresh dill. Serve immediately.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tender Pickle fan or not, this is a good recipe. The brine works as an excellent tenderizer for better Ranch flavor infusion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Yum! The pickle juice sure kept the pork chops moist. The chops were quick and easy to make and delicious.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Jazz it up a bit I followed the recipe, but I breaded the chops with panko and the ranch seasoning mixed into it, dipped in an egg wash and then in panko mixture. Press down slightly to help the crumbs adhere to the pork chops. Place each chop on a cooling rack over a small metal baking sheet or pan. Repeat on all the pork chops. Then baked them. Served gooey Mac & Cheese.
