coat them with ranch dressing then dip in bread crumbs and bake...yummy....
stuff them, or glaze them with apricot jam, dont overcook them then they will be juicy.
have you tried putting them in fishnets and little nurse's uniforms?
use a dry rub and then bbq
cook using wine, herbs or if you are in a hurry, cream of mushroom soup. It makes its own gravy.
grill them then pour creamy pepper sauce on them, i am doing this for tea tonight
Coat in plain yogurt and bread with seasoned bread crumbs then bake or fry til golden.
You could dress them up in a tu-tu and pink wig and play them show tunes all night. That may make them dance...................................... little
There are so many great ways to cook pork chops! Try grilling them with Teriyaki sauce brushed on during the last few minutes of cooking.

Get a shake on seasoning, they come in packs in most supermarkets, just rub it in and grill. Or chop them up and make a stir fry with them. Try the BBC good food website you can type in your ingredients and it will give you recipies using what you've got.
slap each thigh with each chop and shout out pinky and perky are still alive at the top of your voice
while their still raw sprinkle some steak spice on both sides to give them a nice flavor but not too much then cook
Skillet fry them with onions. Set the Onions aside after frying. Place on a tray, coat with Marinara, and Mozzarella cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 400. Serve with some onions(that were fried with the chops) on the side.

BAKED STUFFED PORK CHOPS
INGREDIENTS
4 thick-cut rib pork chops, about 1-1/2 inches thick
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
1/2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
Pinch each of thyme and sage
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can (14.5 ounces) low-salt chicken broth, plus water to make 2 cups
2 cups unseasoned dry bread cubes
1 egg, lightly beaten
Preheat oven to 300° F. Cut a pocket for the stuffing into each chop; set aside.
Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, peppers and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the corn, mushrooms and cook another 3 minutes. Add the seasonings and stir well. Pour in 1 cup of the chicken broth and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook an additional minute. Remove from heat and add the bread cubes. Mix thoroughly. Add the beaten egg and combine well. When mixture has cooled, stuff into each chop. Sprinkle both sides of chops with additional seasoning.
Pour the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth into a baking pan and place the stuffed chops into pan, standing on the bone edge if possible. Place in oven and bake until tender, about 25-30 minutes. (Any remaining stuffing may be placed in a small casserole and baked at the same time.) Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler. Lay the chops flat in the pan and broil on each side for about 3 minutes or until nicely browned, basting with the pan juices. Serve with the juices.
Or again, you could serve them naked - you I mean - and he wouldn't care then what they tasted like!
Cook them with apples and beer. Slice the apples and put them in with the chops when they're starting to get hot. At the same time, put in a shot glass or two worth of the beer, and cover the pan with a lid. The alcohol in the beer burns off, and the pork chops absorb the flavor from the hops as well as from the apples.
It stinks to high heaven when the alcohol burns off, and you're left with inedible apple slices, but it makes pretty good pork chops.
I marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, dark sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and chopped green onions. It always turns out great!
Take them bungee-jumping....
mix clear honey with wholegrain mustard and coat the chops on both sides.Leave in fridge for an hour.Griddle cook till crispy and brown - nice caramel flavour.

try marinating them in dales seasoning which is a good marinade for any kind of meat, you can find it at any grocery store. once you try it you'll be hooked for life!!
