Snappy Lunch Pork Chop
Ingredients:
– 4 boneless pork chops
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary to create a seasoning blend.
3. Lay the pork chops out on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
4. Drizzle the olive oil over both sides of each pork chop, then sprinkle the seasoning blend generously over the chops, rubbing it in to ensure even coverage.
5. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Once hot, place the pork chops in the skillet and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the pork chops for 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remember, the pork will continue to cook after it’s removed from the oven, so don’t overcook it.
7. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring juicy and tender meat.
8. Serve the Snappy Lunch Pork Chops hot, alongside your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Enjoy the delicious flavors and tender texture of this satisfying meal.
