The Best Baked Pork Chops

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Trim fat from chops. Pat chops dry with paper towels. Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper.

In an extra-large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add two bone-in chops or all of the boneless chops. Cook about six minutes or until browned, turning to brown evenly. Transfer chops to a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Repeat with remaining chops if necessary.

Bake chops for 14 to 17 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in chops registers 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover and let stand for three minutes.
