- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
Step 2
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush the pork chops on both sides with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the seasoning mixture over each side, pressing it gently into the meat.
Step 5
Heat the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the butter is fully melted and hot, add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and pour the chicken broth and lemon juice around the chops.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes.
Step 10
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving and serve warm with the pan juices spooned over the top.
