I have never been a huge fan of pork chops in the past. Honestly, I just think I have always overcooked my pork chops which left them dry and blah! Making sure you cook them to 145 degrees ensures that they are tender and juicy like my Shake and Bake Pork Chops. Searing the pork chops in a hot skillet first (I use a cast iron pan, not only gives it that fantastic caramelization but adds to the savory flavor.
With just a few pantry ingredients dinner will be on the table in 30 minutes. This is sure to be a new family favorite, even the kiddos will love this one.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a oven safe skillet (I use cast iron) on medium high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside
- In the same skillet reduce heat to low and add butter, garlic, brown sugar, red pepper, and whisk until combined, simmer 2-3 minutes. Add pork chops back into the pan and coat with sauce.
- Place oven safe skillet in the oven and bake 8-10 minutes or until internal temperature of pork chops reaches 145F
- Remove pork chops and let rest 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve!
Notes
If you don't have an oven-safe pan then transfer everything to a baking dish.
If you're using a thinner pork chop just cut back on the cooking time a minute or two.

i have a lg. family and i would have to make 8 pork chops in 2 seperate pans , so how many times do i double the sauce for that many
So happy you loved it sharon 🙂
I NEVER comment but the sauce on this was out of this world!! The only thing I don’t understand is the amount of garlic....I doubled the recipe and only used 1/2-3/4 Tbsp. of minced garlic and it still had a strong garlic flavor. I can’t imagine if I would have used the full amount! Will definitely make this often!!
!45 degrees is the temp your looking for.
I haven't tried it yet - because I'm wondering about the temp to cook to. In one place you say 140 degrees, and then in another 145. Which is correct? Looking forward to trying these!
That sounds yummy Joyce! The sauce is more like a glaze, not super thick. Next time maybe let it simmer a little longer.
I made double batch of the sauce and I am so glad I did! Spooned that delicious sauce over my baked potatoes and sour cream. Yummmmm! One question though. Should the sauce thicken up? Mine stayed more like melted buttery consistency. Regardless it was a hit!
Love love love
Yay Kate!
I spend weekends in another location where there isn’t a cast iron skillet oven friendly pan. I’m going to sear the chops on this skillet and then bake the chops in the marinade for 8min. I’ll let you know how they turn out.
**UPDATE**
They came out so tender!! They were an absolute hit with the boyfriend who is a HUGE connoisseur of anything pork. Makes me do my happy dance 💃
