Baked Pork Chop

Pork has always been a favorite of the Cajun culture. Our more popular dishes made from pork are boudin, cracklings, and hog-head cheese,

From the High Plains Midwest Agricultural Journal

–Pork tenderloin is just as lean as a skinless chicken breast.

–It takes about eight minutes to broil, grill or saute a pork chop.

–Because pork is so lean, it is important not to overcook it.

–For juicy and tender pork, cook until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit, as measured with a meat thermometer.

–Pork chops are America’s favorite cut of pork, and because they come from the pork loin, they are also a healthful choice.
