Farm-Fresh Tips for Thin-Cut Pork Chops
Thin-cut pork chops cook up quickly—making them perfect for easy weeknight meals. With the right technique, you’ll get juicy meat and golden edges every time. Here’s how we prepare them at Fields of Athenry.
Bring to Room Temp – Let chops rest on the counter for 15–20 minutes so they cook evenly.
Season Simply – A light rub of kosher salt, cracked pepper, and garlic is all they need, though marinades work well too.
Cook Hot & Fast – Pan-sear or grill over medium-high heat for just 2–3 minutes per side.
Don’t Overcook – Thin chops can dry out quickly—pull them off at 145°F for the perfect balance of juicy and tender.
Rest Before Serving – Let rest 3–5 minutes to lock in flavor.
Serve Versatile – Great with roasted veggies, on top of salads, or paired with apples for a classic touch.
From Farm to Feast—happy cooking!
