Ingredients
- 4 thick-cut boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 4 ounces Catalina salad dressing (slightly less than ½ cup) (I use Kraft brand, but you can also sub with French dressing)
- ¼ cup apricot preserves or apricot jam (about 3 ounces)
- 1 (1 ounce) envelope onion soup and dip mix (I use Lipton brand)
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. For easy clean-up, line a roasting pan or a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange pork chops on the prepared pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Catalina dressing, apricot jam, and dry onion soup mix.
- Spread glaze liberally on top of each pork chop.
- Bake pork chops in the preheated oven until the internal temperature of the chops measures 145°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 15 to 20 minutes for 1-inch thick boneless pork chops. If your chops are thinner, start checking them after the first 10-12 minutes. Bone-in pork chops will require a few extra minutes. Be careful not to overcook the pork chops or they may dry out. TIP: if you like a more charred finish on your chops, transfer the pan to the broiler for the final minute or so. Just keep a close eye on the pork chops because the glaze can burn quickly.
- Let the chops rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with herbs just before serving.
Notes
- Use a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Fat, juices, and sauce will drip off of the pork chops as they bake. The foil-lined sheet catches those drips and makes cleanup easy.
- For best results and even cooking, allow the pork chops to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
- The total cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your pork chops. Use a meat thermometer to know exactly when your meat is perfectly cooked. You’re looking for an internal temperature of 140°F – 145°F.
- Let the pork rest for at least 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help to keep the pork chops nice and juicy!
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley or garnish with other fresh herbs for a bright, fresh finishing touch.
- You likely won’t need to add extra salt to the meat, since the Lipton seasoning mix includes plenty of salt on its own.
