Baked Pork Chops

Total Time Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield 2 servings

Baked pork chops cook quickly and are paired with a simple pan sauce that you can drizzle over the chops and a side of mashed potatoes. Because the chops are bone-in, they'll turn out incredibly juicy.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 bone-in pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Brown pork chops on both sides. Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish; sprinkle with onion.
In a bowl, mix remaining ingredients; pour over chops. Bake, covered, until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145°, 15-20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
