Key Ingredients:
Pork Chops: Either bone-in or boneless pork chops will work for this recipe. Bone-in chops tend to be slightly more flavorful and may help them hold together better throughout the slow braise. Choose chops at least ¾-inch thick to avoid drying them out.
Cream of Chicken Soup: Provides a creamy texture as well as a savory base. For a deeper, earthier flavor, cream of mushroom is a good alternative. For a slightly different twist, you could try using cream of celery soup.
Ranch Dressing Mix: It’s this mix that provides the tangy, herby notes that make the sauce pop. Or use half a packet or make your own ranch blend with dried parsley, dill, garlic powder and onion powder if you want a milder flavor.
