Chuletas de cerdo al horno fáciles

Ingredientes

• 4 pork chops (boneless or bone-in)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
• 1/4 cup butter (cut into pats)

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400F and move the rack to the middle position.

2. 2

   Add the spice rub ingredients (brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, Italian seasoning, salt & pepper) to a small bowl and mix together.

3. 3

   Add the pork chops to a 9x13 baking dish and coat them all over with the spice rub, then place the butter pats on top.

4. 4

   Bake, uncovered, for about 20-23 minutes or until the pork chops have reached 145F. If your pork chops are thin (less than 3/4"), check around 18 minutes, and pork chops over 1" may take longer than 25 minutes. Keep in mind ovens vary and altitude can change cooking time, and bone-in pork chops can take a bit longer to cook than boneless.

5. 5

   Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving so they remain juicy. Serve with the pan juices poured over top.
