Steps:
- Whisk together 1/3 cup olive oil, vinegar, garlic, thyme, parsley, and pepper flakes in a bowl. Place pork chops in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour marinade over top. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning chops after 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour 1/4 cup chicken broth in the bottom of a shallow roasting pan.
- Remove pork chops from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops for 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to the prepared roasting pan and top with onion slices. Cover the pan tightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- While pork chops are baking, prepare sauce. Combine 1 cup chicken broth, milk, white wine, and cremini and white mushrooms in a saucepan over medium heat; cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Add flour and bring to a boil, stirring often until thickened. Lower heat and simmer sauce until pork chops are ready.
- Remove pork chops from the oven; drain and discard chicken broth. Pour mushroom sauce over pork chops, cover, and return to the oven. Bake until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

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.
Tips:
- Thicker pork chops will stay juicier and more tender than thin ones, so choose chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
- Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar for at least 30 minutes before cooking will help them retain moisture and flavor.
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels before cooking to help them brown evenly.
- Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper, and any other desired spices, before cooking.
- Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are browned.
- Transfer the pork chops to a baking dish and bake them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Let the pork chops rest for 5-10 minutes before serving, to allow the juices to redistribute.
Conclusion:
Baked pork chops are a delicious, easy, and affordable meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your baked pork chops are tender, juicy, and flavorful. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or roasted vegetables, for a complete and satisfying meal.
