Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425.

- Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Season the pork chops well: Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs before cooking. This will help enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cook the pork chops over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning. This will also help prevent the meat from becoming tough.
- Don't overcook the pork chops: Overcooked pork chops will be tough and dry. Cook the pork chops until they are just cooked through, or to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following the tips above, you can cook pork chops that are juicy, flavorful, and tender. Whether you're pan-frying, grilling, or baking them, pork chops are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
