- 2Seal the bag and shake well to mix.
- 3Add the 4 pork chops to the bag, seal, and shake again to coat the pork chops evenly.

Tips
- Marinate the pork chops for at least 20-30 minutes, but you can marinate them for up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
- The exact baking time will depend on the thickness of the pork chops.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure they are cooked to the correct internal temperature.
- These pork chops pair well with steamed rice or quinoa and a side of steamed or roasted vegetables.
- Be careful not to overcook to avoid drying out the meat.
