JUICY OVEN-BAKED PORK CHOPS WITH GARLIC AND HERBS



Juicy Oven-Baked Pork Chops with Garlic and Herbs image

This Juicy Oven Baked Pork Chops with Garlic, Lemon, and Herbs recipe takes only 30 minutes, seared on the stovetop and finished in the oven.

Provided by Elizabeth Lindemann

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 boneless center cut pork chops (about 1" thick)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (or other high-heat oil like canola)
1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 lemon (zested and cut into wedges)
1/2 cup dry white wine (such as sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, or pinot grigio)
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and place an oven rack in the center. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season evenly on all sides with the kosher salt (1 teaspoon) and black pepper (1/2 teaspoon).
  • Heat an oven-safe skillet on high or medium-high heat, depending on your burners, until very hot. This will take only 30 seconds or so with stainless steel, but up to 5 minutes with cast iron. (to test, you shouldn't be able to hold your hand a couple inches over the skillet's surface for more than a few seconds.)
  • Add the oil (2 tablespoons) and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan (or use a spatula to evenly distribute it). Add the pork chops to the skillet and allow to sear, undisturbed, for 2 minutes. While they are searing, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the fresh oregano and thyme (or less than 1/2 teaspoon if using dried), once minced clove of garlic, and half the lemon zest on the top side of the pork chops.
  • Turn off the heat on the burner and flip the pork chops. (Tip: they should release easily from the bottom of the skillet- if they don't, they may need more time searing.) With the seared side facing up, sprinkle the remainder of the fresh herbs, minced garlic, and lemon zest on top of the pork chops. Place the lemon wedges in the spaces around the pork chops. Slide skillet onto center oven rack and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until internal temperature is 145 degrees F (cooking time will vary depending on thickness and oven temperature).
  • Remove pork chops to a plate or cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes (tent with foil if resting for longer than that to keep them warm).
