Juicy tender pork chops marinated with a sesame ginger vinaigrette and baked in the oven to perfection. 2-Ingredient Baked Sesame Ginger Pork Chops A brief time in the refrigerator gives the bone in thick pork chops loads of flavor while tenderizing the meat.

Still delicious. I like to cook thick cut porterhouse pork chops with the bone in them because there is so much more flavor. Other cuts of pork chops will work, like boneless pork chops, sirloin pork chops, and thin cut pork chops, sometimes called rib pork chops. There is no need to complicate dinner when you can make this simple meal that everyone will enjoy. You will only need two ingredients, Maria's Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette and pork chops. Once they go in the oven, you can have a wholesome meal on the table in less than 45 min
