Notes

What temperature should pork chops be cooked too?
Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. The best way to check the temperature a boneless pork chop is to insert a meat thermometer into the center of the pork chop to check it's temperature.
Are pink pork chops safe to eat?
Cooked pork chops that are a little pink inside are safe to eat as long as the internal temperature is at 145 degrees F.
Why are my pork chops chewy?
If your pork chops are chewy it is most likely because they are overcooked. Pork chops are very lean and overcooking them makes them dry and chewy.
You should cook the pork chops to a temperature of 145 degrees F and then take them out of the oven to rest.  This way they’ll be juicy and tender.
