Notes

*I used 1/2 inch thick, bone-in pork chops. If using boneless pork chops, bake 20 minutes. If your pork chops are thinner than 1/2 inch, your bake time will be reduced even more. Be sure to use a meat thermometer so you don't overcook, therefore resulting in dry meat.

140-150° F: Medium Rare
150-155° F: Medium
155-160° F: Medium Well
160+° F: Well

Storage Instructions

Any leftover pork chops can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days, though I doubt they will last that long. These are so so delicious, you will be licking your plates clean.

To freeze: Allow to cool completely, then wrap each chop individually in aluminum foil and then into an airtight freezer safe container or zip top bag for up to 2 months.
