Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each pork chop.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, sear each pork chop for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Work in batches if necessary.
Remove the skillet from heat and pour the vegetable broth and lemon juice around the pork chops.
Cover the skillet with aluminum foil to maintain moisture.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes while still covered.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for garnish and an extra fresh flavor.
