moist and tender baked pork chops
My husband loves pork chops again. He didn't like pork chops because they were always served to him dry and tough. That is until he got to sample mine. They always come out moist and tender. We have these at least two or three times a month.

You'll never think boneless pork chops are dry after trying this recipe. Simply seasoned, you only need a few ingredients to make these pork chops. Searing them gives the pork chops a little color. The steam when baking them in the oven makes the pork chops tender and super juicy. This recipe also makes a thin, flavorful gravy you can drizzle over rice or mashed potatoes when serving.

Ingredients
- 4 - boneless, pork chops, ~1 inch thick

How To Make moist and tender baked pork chops
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix together black pepper, seasoning salt, garlic, and onion powder. -
Step 2Rub evenly all over each pork chop. (Season to your taste. My husband doesn't like his as salt so I season his less.)
-
Step 3Heat olive oil in a frying pan over med-high heat. Lay pork chops on a pan and allow to sear for 2 minutes without moving them.
-
Step 4Flip the pork chops over and allow to sear for 1 minute longer.
-
Step 5Remove pork chops and place them in an oven-safe baking dish. I use a 19 x 13 pyrex baking dish. Pour in the water. You will want the water to come about 1/3 the way up the pork chop.
-
Step 6Cover the baking dish tightly. I use tinfoil and seal the sides very tight. Place in preheated oven.
-
Step 7Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Your pork should be at 160 degrees when done. I would not check until at least 1 1/2 hours have passed. You will let out all the steam that is keeping the chops moist. The juices in the baking dish make a wonderful gravy.
