Making perfect pork chops is simple—first, they are seared in a very hot pan for about 3 minutes, then they're flipped and cooked the rest of the way in the oven. Preparing them this way ensures that they're cooked through but not overcooked. No one wants tough, dry chops. Instead, you'll end up with juicy, tender pork chops in no time that will be the star of any meal. One key to success is choosing the right pork chops. For this recipe, go for bone-in pork chops that are an inch thick. If they are too thin or boneless, they'll be overcooked, dry, and tough. Thicker pork chops will take longer to cook. Having the bone in contributes flavor and moisture, which means a juicy pork chop. Because we cook the pork chops on the stovetop and then the oven, and we need to get the pan super-hot, a cast-iron skillet is ideal. This will ensure the chops get nicely browned with a crisp crust and good flavor. This recipe is easy to scale down if you're cooking for one or two.
