Prep: 30min

Total: 45min

Yield: Makes 4 servings

Serving Size: 1 pork chop

Nutrition Facts: servingSize 1 pork chop, calories 369, Fat 14.3g, Saturated Fat 5.1g, Cholesterol 138.8mg, Sodium 767mg, Carbohydrate 11.6g, Fiber 1.4g, Sugar 4.4g, Protein 46.1g

Ingredients:

  • 4 pork chops, about 1-inch thick and 6 to 7 ounces each, see notes
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder, see our homemade chili powder recipe
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil like avocado oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock, see our homemade chicken stock recipe
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional

Instruction:

  1. Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and season on both sides with salt — we use just less than 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt per pork chop. Set the chops aside to rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  3. After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to pat the pork chops dry, then rub both sides of the chops with the spice rub.
  4. Heat the oil in a skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and looks shimmery, add the pork. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Flip the pork so that the seared side is facing up. If there is a fattier side of the pork, use kitchen tongs to hold the chops, fat-side-down until it sizzles and browns slightly; about 30 seconds.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook 6 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145° F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. Cook time depends on the thickness of the chops, so check for doneness at 5 minutes, then go from there, checking every 2 minutes after that. If you do not have a thermometer, you will know they are done, if, when cutting into the chops, the juices run clear.
  7. Transfer pork chops to a plate, then cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
  8. While the pork rests, make the pan sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the chicken stock, vinegar, and honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan so that any stuck bits of pork come up.
  9. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Taste, then adjust the seasoning with additional salt, vinegar, or honey.
  10. Slide the skillet off of the heat and when the sauce is no longer simmering, swirl in the butter.
  11. Slide the pork chops back into the pan and spoon some of the sauce on top. Alternatively, slice the chops, then place them back into the pan. Scatter fresh parsley over the pork, and then serve.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 1” thick)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 20-25 cranks fresh-ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • olive oil

Instruction:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a small bowl, combine paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and oregano. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil and stir into a thin paste.
  3. Pat pork chops dry with a paper towel, then coat them on all sides with the seasoning mixture.
  4. Place a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop over high heat. When hot, drizzle in just enough olive oil to thinly coat the bottom. Add the pork chops, working in two batches if needed to avoid crowding. Cook for 2 minutes without moving the chops, then flip and cook for 2 minutes more on the other side. They should be golden brown and may have a few spots of charring – that’s good!
  5. Transfer the skillet directly into the hot oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, just until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
  6. Transfer pork chops to a cutting board or serving plate, tent with foil, and let rest for 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

FAQ

How do I cook pork chops so they don’t dry out?

High-heat frying sears them to a golden brown; and a moderately hot oven (400 degrees F) bakes the pork chops gently enough to keep them from drying out. This “sear-roasting” method is a great way to cook pork chops in the oven: Fry one side to golden brown, then flip, and place the chops directly in the oven.

Is it better to fry or bake boneless pork chops?

For the best texture, sear and bake
