Ingredients

Notes
- Pat pork chops dry before seasoning and searing.
- Sear each pork chop for 4 to 5 minutes on medium on each side before flipping. This helps get a nice sear on each side.
- Pork is done when it reaches at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit. I let mine cook until well done, or around 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- My pork chops took about 20 minutes in the oven, but this will vary depending on the pork chop thickness.
- Use boneless thin cut (about 1 inch thick) pork chops for best results.
- If using bone in, cooking time will increase.
