Affordable and easy to prepare, pork chops have long been a staple meat in American supermarkets.

Baking the chops is an easy and quick way to cook them, while still retaining flavor and moisture.

- Bowl
- Sealable plastic bag
- Marinade

Instructions
-
Thaw the chops by placing them in a sealable plastic bag and placing the bag in a bowl of cold water underneath the kitchen tap in the sink. Continue changing the water every ten minutes until the pork feels thawed and soft, about 40 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the pork chops in the baking dish and pour half of the marinade over it.

Remove the chops from the oven and flip them. Pour the remaining marinade over the chops. Insert them back in to the oven.

Bake the meat for another 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit when inserted in the thickest part of the chop.
