Seasoned Garlic Butter Pork Chops
Pork Chops browned in a skillet, basted in a seasoned garlic butter then baked in the oven.
Salt and pepper both
sides of the pork chops.
In a small bowl, melt the butter in the
microwave. Add the rosemary, paprika
and garlic powder then stir and set aside.
Add the oil to a cast iron skillet (or any
skillet) and heat over medium heat until
hot. Cook the pork chops on both sides
just until lightly brown. If you are not
using a cast iron skillet, transfer the
meat to a baking dish.
Spoon the butter mixture
on top of the pork chops.
Bake at 375º, uncovered, until the thickest
part of the pork chop is 145º then serve.

Thanks so much dear friend!
Yummy! Today, i had eaten nearly the same, ähem same shape. Lol But with chicken meat. 😉 Thanks for sharing this great idea, Diane! Have a nice week! xx Michael
Oh this would be delicious with chicken too, thanks for a great idea Michael!
Thank you!
Now you’re talkin’
Anything with butter has to be good right? Lol
The butter sounds delicious, could be used on so many things!
Yes and change the herbs for a different taste too. Thank you Dorothy!
Everything tastes better with garlic butter! Looks so tasty and I do love a good porkchop. Have you finished drying all the herbs from your garden harvest this year?
I agree Ab! Yes the garden is done and my herbs are dried. I am waiting for the asparagus to turn brown so I can cut them down. It’s a LOT of asparagus and I can only handle a small section each day but it will get there.
That’s a lot of stinky asparagus pee coming up!
Looks so good. And easy, too. Next shopping trip, I am buying some pork chops. I have a cast iron pan, and it’s getting colder. Good time to turn on the oven. Thanks!
Thank you Betty and enjoy!
Love that this not only looks delicious but that it is a one dish meal if you use an oven proof skillet. Thank you for sharing another great recipe!
You’re very welcome!
Sounds like a must try, Diane!

Thank you Mitzy❣️
Wow that sounds yummy! Anything in garlic butter is going to be good! (Ok, ok, perhaps liver in garlic butter would not be so ok – ha! I am not one for organ meats…)
Thank you! Liver has never appealed to me either. My mom made us eat it as a kid and I hated it and still do. I sure was glad the dog liked it!
You had me at garlic and butter. Sounds like a winning combo with pork chops.
Thank you so much!
That looks so tasty and delicious, will have to give this a try!
Thank you Paul and enjoy!
Sounds good! Pork chops are so darn hard to cook but these look easy and tasty. What would you serve with them?
Thank you! We had Alfredo noodles and green beans.
Thank you!
I love that you can brown in your cast iron and then slide it in the oven. It is so easy and keeps those flavors.
I agree Linda, even my husband has started using my cast iron pans. I think he was afraid of ruining them in the past.
That makes sense. I don’t have an issues with figuring out the “main” part of our meals (like meat!) but I often fall down around veggies and something else. Sigh. I am working on it, though!
I will make simple potatoes in the microwave or oven and a salad when I am at a loss for ideas.
I’m hungry now, wishing I had a snack of a pork chop sandwich. This looks tasty Diane.
That’s a great idea Linda! Thank you!
I like your choice of spices and herbs – this is how you change an average pork chop to a great one! Thanks for the recipe Diane!
Thank you for your kind words❣️
I have some bone-in chops, but I am going to try this recipe. I have a friend I owe a couple of meals to and she can be my guinea pig.
They will work just fine, enjoy!
Just seeing this, I will surely try it during this yuletide season.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Thank you
