People absolutely rave about my recipe for the Perfect Thick Cut Pork Chop. It’s about time I share an Easy Baked Pork Chop Recipe for those of you who prefer the boneless variety. A good pork chop doesn’t require much in the way of seasoning so I’ve kept things super simple in this recipe. It doesn’t get much easier than this!
My Other Recipes
Baked Pork Chops are incredible simple to make. You will have better results if you purchase pork chops that have been cut about 1-inch thick. This will help prevent your meat from drying out. There’s nothing worse than a dry pork chop! Any thinner than 1 inch and you will most likely end up with dry, flavorless meat.
How long to bake pork chops?
The length of time that you need to bake a pork chop depends on the thickness of your meat as well as whether or not is bone-in. Searing your meat before baking will also impact the cooking time. A good rule of thumb is 7 minutes of baking in a 400 degree oven per half inch of meat. If you sear your meat beforehand, reduce that amount of 2 minutes. If your pork chop has a large bone, you may need to add a few minutes to the cooking time. Pork needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Let your meat rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting into it.
This pork recipe can easily be added to in order to create a one pan dinner. Toss some green beans in some olive oil and salt and pepper and surround the pork on a baking sheet for some roasted green beans and pork. Broccoli would work well too.

My adult children and I absolutely loved this. Our chops were tasty and moist. It was so simple to prepare and didn’t take long to cook. I will definitely be using the recipe again.

Just made these with 2 adjustments took out olive oil and added lactaid milk & a roll of low sodium ritz crackers (hubby wanted shake n’bake). Alas, we were out & I was loathe to go to the store. So I used this recipe with adjustments to make my own home shake n’bake. I don’t think I used the exact seasoning amounts. I added it to the ziploc bag after breaking up the crackers, tasted & added more hear & there until satisfied. Hubby & kid love it better than the shake n’bake 💜. Just wanted to share our little experiment success!
Mel says
I wanted to add I did start out with the same amount of seasoning, just added after to our taste preference.

I made this tonight with bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin filets. They were a bit thicker so I went 35 minutes @ 400 degrees. Very good!
Dorothy says
I am making these right now. Hope mine come out good to satisfy 3 grandchildren under 6 years old. Serving them with homemade apple sauce.
Theorphilus says

Diane says
I made these tonight and was very happy with how they turned out! Less than 30 minutes to prepare and cook (I had thin chops) and my family loved them. I will definitely make these again.
Tobee says
Very delicious & easy recipe for a simple pork chop! My husband and I loved them! I always sear the meat prior to popping in the oven. Thank you:)
Suzanne Jones says
I made this and my picky fourteen year old son actually complimented me! Lol. So I quadrupled it to make a bulk batch and put it in an old empty spice container. I’m gonna put this on everything! Lo?

Cheryl Prater says
Way too much salt for my family. I will try it again but use way less salt. Other than that they were very moist and not overdone.
Diane says
We don’t use much salt either, so I threw in some Ms. Dash (the spicy kind) instead of salt and it was delicious.
