Pork chops are a lean cut of meat that comes from the pork shoulder. They are one of the most popular cuts of meat in the world. You have a wide variety of choices when it comes to purchasing pork chops, including loin chops, New York pork chops (aka center cut pork chops), ribeye pork chops, and so on.  All cuts will work great for this recipe so I recommend sticking with a cheaper cut since you won’t be serving as a full chop.
