Ingredients

  • 2 center-cut pork chops bone-in or boneless, ¾-1 inch thick
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon per chop

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the seasonings (brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt). Brush the bone-in pork chops with oil and then sprinkle the seasoning mixture generously over the pork chops. Make sure to also season the sides. Place them in the fridge for 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the chops in an 8×8 baking dish and place 1 tablespoon of butter on each chop. Bake the pork chops for 15-18 minutes (¾-inch) or 18-22 minutes (thicker cuts). Halfway through baking time, spoon the melted butter over the chops. They are done when
  • Bake the pork chops for 15-18 minutes (¾-inch) or 18-22 minutes (thicker cuts). Halfway through baking time, spoon the melted butter over the chops. They are done when an instant-read thermometer reads 145 degrees F.
  • Let them rest around 10 minutes on a serving plate before slicing.

Notes

  • Let the pork chops marinate overnight when you have time!
  • Do not overcook. Start checking for doneness with a meat thermometer after about 16 minutes for ¾ inch cuts and around the 20-minute mark for larger ones. 
  • Let them rest for up to 10 minutes for super juicy chops. That resting time helps the juices redistribute, so the longer the better!
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • Reheat leftovers covered in a baking dish with a splash of water at 300 degrees F until warmed through.
