Ingredients

– 2-4 boneless pork chops
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons of butter
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C).

3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

4. When the butter is melted, add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

5. Remove from heat and transfer the pork chops to the prepared baking dish.

6. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145F (63C).

7. Remove from oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips and Notes

– Make sure you season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help create a flavorful crust on the outside of the pork chops while they are cooking.

– The internal temperature of the pork chops should be 145F (63C) before they are removed from the oven.

– Letting the pork chops rest after cooking is an important step as it allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and juicy pork chop.

– Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
