How to Make Boneless Pork Chops
- Beat the pork chops to an even thickness.
2. Season the pork chops on both sides with the seasoning mixture.
3. To a warm pan, add butter and oil. Add the chops to the hot pan and sear them on both sides for 3-4 minutes on each side.
4. Spoon an even amount of garlic butter onto each chop and cover with a lid. Add the pan to the oven and bake at 340°F for 5-10 minutes or until the pork chops are tender.
Expert Tips for Tender Pork Chops:
- Don’t be afraid to load up on the garlic! Our recipe calls for 3 garlic cloves, but if you are a garlic lover, I recommend doubling up on the garlic.
- Sear the pork first. Before baking, it’s essential to sear both sides of the pork loins first. Searing the pork chops will seal the juices and give the meat a crispy exterior but juicy interior.
- Cook time. Keep in mind the cook time will vary depending on the thickness of the pork chop and the skillet.
