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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Step 2
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This ensures better searing and flavor.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Place the seasoned pork chops in the prepared baking dish in a single layer, making sure they aren’t touching to allow even cooking.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve the pork chops hot, paired with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
