These Oven Baked Boneless Pork Chops are quick and easy to make, yet come out incredibly juicy and flavorful!

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork chops (at least 1 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep: Heat oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with baking parchment.

  2. 2

    Tenderize: Place pork chops between two pieces of plastic wrap and very gently pound using a rolling pin or flat side of a meat mallet (you don't want to flatten them much, you mainly want to tenderize them - 4-5 gentle smacks will do).

  3. 3

    Season: Rub chops all over with oil and mustard. Combine brown sugar, ground paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub seasoning blend all over chops.

  4. 4

    Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness of chops (about 6 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness), until they reach an internal temperature of 140°F. Turn oven to broil and broil the pork chops 1-2 minutes, until browned.

  5. 5

    Rest: Remove from the oven and allow chops to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before serving, in order to let temperature rise to 145°F. Do not skip rest!
