Oven Baked Pork Chops Ready in 30 Minutes

These oven baked pork chops use olive oil and a simple paprika seasoning blend to make a juicy six-serving dinner in 30 minutes. Thick boneless chops cook quickly at 400°F and rest briefly before serving.

Why These Oven Baked Pork Chops Work

One-inch boneless chops are thick enough to stay juicy while the outside develops a seasoned crust. Olive oil helps the salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder coat the meat evenly. An instant-read thermometer removes the guesswork: the chops are ready when the thickest part reaches 145°F.

Ingredients

• 6 boneless pork chops, 1 inch thick
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

How to Make Oven Baked Pork Chops

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
• Place the pork chops in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and brush to coat the pork chops evenly.
• Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the tops and sides of the pork chops.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
• Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips for Juicy Pork Chops

• Choose chops that are close to one inch thick so the timing is consistent.
• Brush the oil over every surface before adding the seasoning.
• Check the thickest chop first and remove the pan when it reaches 145°F.
• Rest the meat for five minutes before slicing so the juices settle.

Final Result

The finished pork chops have browned, paprika-seasoned exteriors and moist interiors. Serve them immediately after their five-minute rest with any simple dinner sides you enjoy.
