Ingredient Notes
Pork chops: Bone-in chops tend to stay particularly flavorful, while boneless chops are convenient and easy to serve. Try to choose chops of similar thickness so they cook evenly.
Onion soup mix: This provides a concentrated combination of onion flavor and seasoning without requiring you to chop several ingredients.
Apricot preserves: The preserves create the sweet, glossy portion of the glaze. Peach preserves can be used if that’s what you have available.
Italian dressing: Bottled Italian dressing adds acidity, herbs, and seasoning while helping create the flavorful cooking sauce.
