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.
