These marry me pork chops are tender, juicy, and smothered in a creamy, garlicky sauce that will win over anyone at the table. Make them tonight—you’ll see why the name fits!
If you’re looking for a dinner that’s both impressive and easy, these marry me pork chops are it. Tender, juicy pork chops are smothered in a rich, gravy-like sauce that’s creamy, garlicky, and full of flavor—perfect for a weeknight meal or a special family dinner. I love that they’re ready in just 25 minutes, so you get all the indulgence without the long prep or cook time.
These pork chops were inspired by my marry me salmon recipe, bringing the same irresistible, creamy sauce to a hearty pork dinner. My family can’t get enough, and I’ve made it countless times, knowing everyone will ask for seconds. Quick, comforting, and utterly delicious, these pork chops are ones you’ll want to make again and again!
A few things to note about the ingredients
Pork chops: I prefer to use boneless pork loin chops that are at least 1″ thick for this recipe. If your chops are thinner, I recommend cooking them as I do in my thin pork chops recipe and then adding them to the sauce.
Sun-dried tomatoes: I know these guys aren’t everyone’s favorite. If you don’t love them, substitute diced tomatoes instead.
Storing and reheating instructions
Store: These pork chops store very well, making them ideal for weekday lunches or meal prep. Simply store them in a covered container in your fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat: I like to slice the chops thin and reheat them on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a splash of water or stock to loosen the sauce. You can also reheat them in a microwave.

Have you ever tried it in a crock pot? Just wondering if they would be more tender? I’m going to try this recipe today on the stove (because I’ve done it with chicken and it’s fabulous). Thanks for posting!!!
I haven’t, but I think it should work well. I would wait and add the whipping cream near the end of cooking to make sure it doesn’t curdle. If you give it a go, I’d love to hear how it turns out for you!
