This recipe shows you how to bake boneless pork chops completely in the oven until they are tender and moist. You will use a simple garlic herb butter to keep the chops juicy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 3/4 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the pork chops completely dry using paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley together until combined. This is your garlic herb butter.
  4. Place the pork chops on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them lightly with olive oil.
  5. Season both sides of the chops evenly with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and garlic powder.
  6. Place half a tablespoon of the garlic herb butter on top of each pork chop.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes. The exact time depends on the thickness of your chops.
  8. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops are done when they reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit in the thickest part.
  9. Remove the chops from the oven and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before serving. Resting keeps the juices inside.

Notes

  • For thicker chops (over 1 inch), you may need to increase the baking time by 5 to 7 minutes.
  • If you want a slightly glazed look, you can brush the chops with a thin layer of honey during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • You can substitute dried parsley for fresh parsley if needed.
  • This recipe works well for a sheet pan pork chops oven meal; add quick-cooking vegetables like asparagus to the pan.
