Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth (optional, for basting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This ensures better searing and flavor.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Rub olive oil evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Then, evenly sprinkle the seasoning mixture across both sides of the pork chops, rubbing it in gently.
Place the seasoned pork chops in the prepared baking dish in a single layer, making sure they aren’t touching to allow even cooking.
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chops. If desired, baste the pork chops with chicken broth halfway through cooking for additional juiciness.
Once done, remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum flavor and tenderness.
Serve the pork chops hot, paired with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
