easy pork chop oven baked

Perfect family-friendly meal for a quick weeknight dinner! Ready in 30 minutes.

I love to experiment! So I ended up with oven baked pork chops seasoned with my trusted homemade creole seasoning for warm flavors, along with thyme, garlic, Dijon mustard for a bit of acidity, brown sugar for a bit of sweetness and a beautiful caramelization.

Since pork chops are a tender and quick-cooking meat cut, I always prefer to bake it in the oven as the gentle heat of the oven lets me control the rate of cooking.

For a bone-in chop of about a 1/2-3/4 inch thick, I suggest you cook them around 18-22 minutes at 400 F  or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degress F.

if boneless pork chops are more appealing to you, you can cook your oven baked pork chops at around 15-19 minutes at 400 F. But if you have a thicker cut around 1 inch or so, try adding a few more minutes or until the thickest part reads 145 F degrees.

These oven baked pork chops are without a doubt a family hit even to the most picky eater. Want more pork chop recipes? Try these:
