Garlic Baked Pork Chops
Description
This recipe starts by marinating pork chops in a mixture of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper for at least three hours to infuse flavor. The pork chops are seared in a hot cast iron or oven-safe skillet with butter and fresh minced garlic, creating a garlic-infused crust. After browning on both sides, the chops are finished in a 400°F oven until reaching an internal temperature of 145°F, with careful attention to avoid overcooking to maintain juiciness.
The dish finishes with a rest period to keep the juices locked in, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a touch of color and mild herbaceous flavor. The preparation balances a roasted garlic taste with tender pork, suitable for serving alongside various sides.
This method allows the pork to develop a flavorful outer browning while ensuring thorough cooking inside. The use of fresh garlic added in the pan adds a robust aroma and taste that complements the seasoning blend applied during marination.
