Use an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork chops to check the temperature. If the thickest part of the pork chops is 137-140 degrees F., remove the chops from the skillet and rest 5-10 minutes.

If your pork chops are thicker than 1”, they might not be up to temperature. Put the oven safe skillet into the preheated oven and bake for another 3-5 minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 137-140 degrees F. Always rest the pork chops at least 5-10 minutes as this allows the juices to redistribute for maximum juiciness.
