Meat food safety: An accurate way to check for doneness is by using an instant-read meat thermometer. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork chop and when internal temperature registers at 145˚F, the pork chop is done.
Serving suggestions: This dish can be served alone or with a healthy side to soak up the tomato sauce.
Storage instructions: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Reheating instructions: When reheating, it's best to slice the pork chop. This will make the process quicker to avoid overcooking.
