Steps:
- To brine your pork chops, fill a large bowl with 1 quart of warm (not hot) water and 1/4 cup kosher salt. Stir to combine until most of the salt is absorbed. Add the pork chops and let them sit in the mixture to brine for 15 minutes. Or you can also also cover the bowl and refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Remove the pork chops from the brine, rinse with cold water, then pat them dry with some paper towels.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Brush the pork chops on both sides with olive oil
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, and garlic powder until combined. Sprinkle the mixture evenly on both sides of the pork.
- Meanwhile, heat a cast iron skillet (or oven-safe sauté pan) on the stove over high heat for 5 minutes. Once the pan is super-hot, add the pork chops and use a spatula to press them evenly into the pan, so that the entire bottom surface of the pork chops makes contact with the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the under-sides of the pork chops are golden brown. Carefully use tongs to flip the pork chops. Then use an oven mitt to carefully transfer the skillet to the oven. Continue baking for 3 minutes. Then flip the pork chops once more, and continue baking for 3-5 minutes more, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (62°C).
- Once the pork is ready to go, immediately remove the pan from the oven, and transfer the pork to a clean plate. Brush any of the pan juices onto the pork chops. Then loosely tent the plate with aluminum foil and and let the pork rest for at least 3 minutes.
- Serve warm. Or, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

TENDER OVEN BAKED PORK CHOPS
This recipe is foolproof. The pork chops turn out VERY tender. I have tried many other recipes for pork chops in the oven, and I always go back to this tried and true recipe of mine. My husband eats about 3 or 4 chops every time I make it. He also makes sure to tell me to make enough for leftovers. Make sure to buy pork chops with the bone. The bones add more flavor, and the meat is more moist. I would also suggest to NOT buy "thin" cut pork chops. Enjoy!!

Steps:
- Take pork chops and season both sides generously with Lawry's Seasoning Salt and Paula Deen's House Seasoning.
- If you do not have Paula Deen's Seasoning you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of salt with 1/4 cup of pepper and 1/4 cup of garlic powder. You can put it in a shaker bottle and use for up to 6 months.
- Melt 1/4 cup of the margarine in a large frying pan. On medium to medium high heat, brown the chops on both sides. So they have a pretty brown color to them. About 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Spray a roaster pan with cooking spray.
- Slice up a medium size onion and layer the bottom of the roaster pan.
- Layer the browned up chops over the onion. DO NOT let the chops overlap. It is important that they are in a single layer.
- In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the water, dry gravy mix, gravy darkener and the cream of mushroom soup. Season this to taste with the Lawry's Seasoning Salt and Paula Deen House Seasoning.
- Pour this mixture over the pork chops.
- Melt the last 1/4 cup of butter in the frying pan, and saute the thinly sliced fresh mushrooms. I season them with salt and pepper and a splash of Italian dressing.
- Put a pile of the mushrooms on the top of each of the pork chops. Or you can also just mix the sauteed mushrooms in with the gravy. I have done it both ways.
- Bake COVERED at 300°F for two and a half hours. Do not remove the cover at all while baking.
- The gravy thickens up on its own. Just serve pork chops on a platter accompanied with homemade mashed potatoes, vegetable and salad.

- Season pork chops evenly with salt and pepper. Dip and coat chops in egg, allow excess to drip off, then dip in bread crumbs until well coated.
- Heat 1/2 of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 2 chops in the skillet and cook until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until crisp on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to the prepared rack. Heat remaining oil in the skillet and repeat to sear remaining chops.
- Bake pork chops in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 155 degrees F (68 degrees C).

NEVER-FAIL BAKED PORK CHOPS
No soggy pork chops here. These baked pork chops are delicious. Made with only four ingredients, they're an easy weeknight meal. The bread crumbs add just the right amount of seasoning. Parmesan cheese adds the salt pork chops need and gives the crust a savory flavor. Dipping the pork chops in melted butter before breading, not only adds flavor but holds in the juices. These pork chops are super tender and juicy.

Steps:
- Spray 9x13" pan with cooking spray. Mix together the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each pork chop into melted butter.
- Then coat with crumb mixture.
- Place into pan with chops not touching if possible. Drizzle remaining butter (if any) over top of chops.
- Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes until chops are nicely browned.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops. Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Season the pork chops well. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good starting point. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
- Sear the pork chops before baking. This will help to develop a nice crust and lock in the juices. To sear the pork chops, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are browned.
- Bake the pork chops at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent them from drying out. The ideal baking temperature is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that they are cooked through but still juicy.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make them more tender.
Conclusion:
Baked pork chops are a simple and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can ensure that your baked pork chops are juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give baked pork chops a try.
