Notes
- Choose thick-cut pork chops for maximum juiciness and tenderness in the final dish.
- Let the pork chops rest after browning to help them retain moisture during baking.
- Swap cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken or celery for different flavor variations.
- For a gluten-free version, replace breadcrumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers or cornflake crumbs.
