We tend to have pork chops about once a week but they aren’t our favorite thing to eat so I’m always trying to find new ways to make pork chops or just pork in general. While BBQ pulled pork is always a go too, there are a few other pork recipes that we make frequently.

Double Crunch Pork Chops has a delicious soy flavor to them and are great served over top of rice. Sheet Pan Parmesan Pork Chops is an easy one pan meal. Another one we have frequently is BBQ Pork Tacos with Slaw.

I found a recipe for melt in your mouth pork chops that only had a few ingredients and I was sold. I didn’t love the idea of coating the pork chops with mayonnaise but I figured I would trust the process.

Why coat pork chops with mayonnaise?

Coating the pork chops with mayonnaise keeps them tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Mayonnaise contains oil and egg yolks which helps browning and give the pork chops a beautiful golden finish. The added fat makes the pork chops super tender.

The mayonnaise is actually mixed with paprika, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese to give it a ton of flavor. You won’t even be able to tell the finished dish had mayonnaise in it.

Why you will love Melt in your Mouth Pork Chops:

The great thing about these pork chops is that they pair well with just about any side dish. Serve them with rice, mashed potatoes, or even mac n cheese. A green salad, roasted Brussels Sprouts, or Parmesan green beans are great as a vegetable side dish.

Ingredients:

boneless pork chops
mayonnaise (do not use light mayonnaise, use the full fat)
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
oregano
paprika
garlic cloves

This pork did end up being pretty much melt in your mouth. The mayonnaise and cheese form a nice golden brown crust. However, the mayo keeps the pork tender and juicy.

You could use this recipe and technique with chicken or fish to get the same results. Cooking times would be a bit different but the process would be the same.

How do you store melt in your mouth pork?

Drain off any extra oil then store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I find that reheating in the air fryer or putting the pork in the microwave for 30-40 seconds then broiling it in the oven is the best way to warm it back up.
