And the flavor of the fresh lemon, garlic, oregano, and thyme are the perfect complements to the pork, which is somewhat bland on its own. Pan-searing the chops before baking creates texture and flavor for a perfectly cooked, tender, juicy pork chop every time. These oven-baked pork chops are quick and easy enough to make for a casual weeknight dinner but delicious enough to serve for a dinner party or special occasion, especially with the pan sauce drizzled on top. They’re a lean, healthy protein, they’re inexpensive, and such a crowd pleaser!
I don’t know how I don’t have a pork chops recipe on the blog already, but better late than never! I love how fast and easy pork chops are to make.
