- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Easy Baked Pork Chops
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp celtic sea salt
- 1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
- 4 pork chops 1/2" thick boneless chops - NOT extra thick or super thin
Instructions
- Add lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, pork chops, salt, and pepper to a ziploc bag and marinate for at least 3 hours, and up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and place cast iron pan (or other heavy oven safe pan) in oven.
- When oven is 375 degrees and pan is scorching hot (but not smoking), carefully swirl olive oil in pan and heat until shimmery.
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Add in pork chops, without crowding the pan.
- Close oven and cook to browned on one side - about 6 minutes.
- Flip pork chops and place back in oven.
- After 6 minutes, check pork's temperature. If pork chops are thinner, they cook much faster - pork chops are done when they are 145 degrees internally.
- If pork chops are not done, keep cooking until they are (cooking time will vary widely based on the thickness of your pork chop, whether or not there is a bone, etc. - so I find it's best to go from temperature instead of time.)
- When pork is 145 degrees internally, remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
