Ingredients

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.
