Ingredients: 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing; 1/2 cup barbecue sauce; 2 teaspoons chili powder; 4 bone-in pork chops (3/4 inch thick and 7 ounces each)

In her West Monroe, Louisiana kitchen, Tonya Fitzgerald jazzes up store-bought Italian salad dressing with barbecue sauce and chili powder to make the easy marinade for these pork chops. They're simmered on the stove-top for just a few minutes, so they're on the table in no time.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
4 bone-in pork chops (3/4 inch thick and 7 ounces each)

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the salad dressing, barbecue sauce and chili powder. Pour 1/2 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain and discard marinade. In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, brown chops on both sides over medium heat; drain. Add reserved marinade. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until a thermometer reaches 160°.

I thought the ingredients in this recipe make for some interesting eats. The sauce was really delicious. With that said, I used boneless pork chops and decided to bake instead of fry. I try not to fry foods very often for health reasons. My problem was the chops were like shoe leather. I do place the blame on myself,because I think I overcooked them and it made them tough. Being fair in rating this recipe, I give it 5 stars because the taste was perfect. I think this sauce would go great on chicken.

This was very easy and very good. I used boneless chops instead. Would probably be a little tastier with the bone-in chops but it was still yummy. I would make this recipe again because I always have these ingredients on hand and the sauce was delicious.
