For optimal tenderness, brine the pork chops for 30 minutes before seasoning. Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your spice preference. If you don't have Italian seasoning, use a blend of dried oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Use a meat tenderizer tool to make the pork chop more tasty!
