FAQs

Q1: Can I use boneless pork chops for this recipe?
Yes, you can absolutely use boneless pork chops. Just adjust the cooking time as they may cook faster.

Q2: What should I do if I don’t have fresh thyme?
If you don’t have fresh thyme, dried thyme will work in a pinch. Use about one-third of the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated.
