These Simple Broiled Pork Chops take minutes to prepare and about 15 minutes to cook, which makes them a perfect midweek meal. The combination of fennel seed and pork is absolutely divine, especially when served beside a sweeter flavor like sweet potatoes or the classic applesauce. Consider making a bigger batch of this seasoning mix and keep it in a shaker for whenever you cook pork (it’s also really tasty on pork roasts and chicken).
