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).

Four thin cut loin chops lightly browned and sprinkled with spices.

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless pork loin chops
2 teaspoons fennel seed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven on the high broil setting for about 10 minutes.
Grind fennel seed in a spice grinder or small blender until it’s a fine powder. Combine with salt and cracked black pepper (you could also grind whole pepper corns with the fennel seed). Sprinkle liberally over both sides of the pork chops.
Place pork on a foil-lined roasting pan.
Broil on the first side for 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of your pork chops. If on the thin side go with 6 minutes. Flip and broil on the second side for another 6-8 minutes.
Rest the pork chops under foil for 5 minutes before eating.
