These Oven Baked Boneless Pork Chops are quick and easy to make, yet come out incredibly juicy and flavorful! After seasoning them, they roast in the oven to perfection. Show
I just shared my Oven Baked Chicken Breast recipe, and it turned out to be such a hit… I thought maybe I should share my way of baking pork chops, too! While I have to admit I’m a huge fan of air fried pork chops… this oven version is just as good, and just as easy, too. The spice rub makes the meat incredibly flavorful, and choosing thick-cut chops helps to keep them juicy. To me, this is such an essential recipe to have in your back pocket, so here it is! Ingredients you’ll needHere is a visual overview of the ingredients in the recipe. Scroll down to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post for quantities! Ingredients for Oven Baked Pork Chops: Boneless pork chops, brown sugar, mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, ground paprika, salt and pepper.Ingredient notes
How to bake boneless pork chops in the oven1. Start by lightly pounding the chops between two pieces of plastic wrap. You do NOT want to flatten them, you just want to pound them to break up some of the fibers, in order to help tenderize the meat. 4-5 light smacks per chop will do.
2. Rub the chops with olive oil first, then with mustard. Make sure to cover both sides and the edge.
3. Combine the ingredients for the spice rub, then evenly sprinkle all sides of the chops. You don’t want to rub the spices into the chops (it’s too messy because of the oil and mustard), but just lightly dab it all over the meat.
4. Place the chops on a rimmed pan lined with baking parchment. Bake the chops at 400°F for 6 minutes per ½ inch thickness (this means if your chops are 1 inch thick, you’ll bake them for 12 minutes); OR until the internal temperature reaches 140°F. Turn on the broiler and broil the chops for 1-2 minutes until they are nicely browned.
5. Remove the chops from the oven, let them rest for 5 minutes. Make sure the temperature has risen to at least 145°F before serving!
Recipe tips
Recommended internal temperature for porkWondering when your pork is done and safe to be eaten? I highly recommend investing in (the following is an affiliate link an I earn a commission for purchases made through it) a meat thermometer. I check pretty much everything I cook and bake with mine to make sure I’m at the accurate temperature. The US government’s food safety website recommends cooking all pork to an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) followed by a 3 minute rest for safe consumption. Serving ideasPork chops are a great basic, and so many things pair well with them. Here are some of our favorites:
They are also great with rice and a bag of steamed vegetables for a quick and easy dinner. Or even with a hunk of crusty bread, mustard and coleslaw! More pork recipes
