How to Make Pork Chops (Pan-Seared + Oven Finish)
1) Choose chops: 1-inch thick bone-in or boneless pork chops work well. Pat dry, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder/paprika. 2) Sear: Heat 1–2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear chops 3–4 minutes per side until browned. 3) Finish in oven: Transfer skillet to a 400°F (205°C) oven for about 6–12 minutes, depending on thickness. Use a meat thermometer. 4) Check doneness: Pork is safe at an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), then rest 3 minutes. (If you don’t have a thermometer, cut to check: juices should run clear and meat should be just slightly pink, but thermometer is best.) 5) Serve: Resting helps keep them juicy. Optional: spoon pan juices over the chops; add a quick sauce like mustard-cream or apple cider reduction.

Alternative: Quick Bake Method
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Season chops and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake 18–25 minutes for 1-inch thickness, flipping once halfway. Again, confirm with a thermometer (145°F / 63°C) and rest 3 minutes.

Professional-care note (food safety)
For best results and safety, avoid undercooking. Use a clean thermometer, don’t reuse marinades that touched raw pork unless boiled, and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours. If you’re pregnant, immunocompromised, or managing a health condition, follow stricter food-safety practices and consult a clinician if needed.
