Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite sides.
For extra flavor, try searing the pork chops in a mixture of butter and olive oil.
If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute plain Greek yogurt.
Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for a richer flavor.
Customize the sauce by adding other vegetables, such as sliced mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers.
To make this dish ahead of time, prepare the pork chops and sauce, then refrigerate until ready to bake. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time to ensure the chops are fully cooked.

Jan 19, 2025My pork chops came out a little dry. Next time, I'll try searing them for less time or adding a little broth to the sauce.
