A juicy oven baked bone in pork chop for one, made with a simple seasoning and ready in about 20 minutes.
Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (1-inch thick) bone in pork chop
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pat the pork chop dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil over both sides. Coat evenly with the seasoning mixture. Place the pork chop on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. The exterior should be lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and top with butter. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use a Meat Thermometer: Cook time depends more on thickness than weight. A thicker pork chop may need a few extra minutes, so use a meat thermometer and cook to 145°F.
- Choose a Thick Cut: Thicker chops stay juicier and are less likely to overcook.
- Pat the Pork Dry: Removing surface moisture helps the seasoning adhere better.
- Start Checking Early: Ovens vary, so begin checking for doneness at 18 minutes.
- Bake at High Heat: Baking at 425°F helps create a lightly browned crust while keeping the inside tender.
