This is how I cook succulent center cut pork chops. They turn out so tender and juicy with a beautiful sear on the chop, and this one pan method is a total breeze when it comes to the clean up, and preparation couldn’t be easier. Enjoy!

How To Make bonnie’s baked pork chops ( lick them chops good!)

  • 1
    Line pan with foil. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. No need to turn the chops. Cooking time is 12-15 minutes depending on size of the pork chop. Cook to 145 to 150 degrees with an instant read thermometer. Lightly tent with foil for five minutes before serving. The time listed is for a medium size pork chop.

    Choose centercut, and bone in pork chops one inch thick. The chops should be at room temperature. (Cold meat lengthens cooking time.)
  • Cut into the fat, but not the meat
    3
    Cut into the fat with a sharp knife at the sides of the chop so it won’t curl up as it cooks. Avoid cutting into the meat.
