Dry. Bland. Chewy. Flavorless. Stupid. Boresville. Ever use these words to describe poor ole pork chops?

I FEEL YA! Pork can be so boring… if you under-season or over-cook it! These chops are doused in herbs and crisped to a golden brown on each side to create a seal of sweet juicy pork. Tell me you can’t go for that!

I love these bone-in pork chops because they require just a handful of ingredients and and take 10 freaking minutes to cook. Not like 10 mins (with 45 min prep), no no no. Literally. Ten minutes start. to. finish!

Make this for your honey on V-day– whether that’s an actual person or a DVR-ed episode of Scandal commercial-free (I’m dreaming of both right now), that’s up to you. Serve with your favorite side dish like roasted sweet potatoes or garlic green beans, or just enjoy them solo.

Why I Love This Recipe

These bone-in pork chops are hands down one of my favorite pork chop recipes for a reason. They’re juicy, flavorful, and take less than 10 minutes to cook — perfect for a weeknight dinner when you want something easy.

I love that it only uses pantry staples and simple ingredients, so there’s no stress, no long prep, no guesswork. The beautiful golden crust on the pork? Total win. And letting the pork rest after cooking makes it melt-in-your-mouth juicy every single time.

Pair them with roasted brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, or a crisp salad, and you’ve got an easy dinner that looks like a five-star meal but takes almost no time. Plus, leftovers store perfectly in an airtight container — ideal for next time.

Ingredients You’ll Need

2 bone-in pork chops
2 sprigs fresh rosemary minced

How To Make These Easy Bone-In 10 Minute Pork Chops

Preheat oven to broil setting. Line a cooking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
Prep your chops by taking one half of the garlic and rubbing all over the pork — 1/2 clove each side. Using a paring knife, make two little slits into each chop (about 3 inches away from one another) and place garlic halves into each.
Season each pork chop with rosemary, oregano, salt and pepper on both sides, pressing into the pork with your fingers.
Place pork on sheet pan and into oven about 4-5 inches from the broiler. Roast for 5 minutes, then remove from oven. Flip chops over, place back into oven and roast another 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and cover with tin foil. Let rest 5-10 minutes before serving).
Top each pork chop with a pat of butter and serve warm!

FAQs

Yes! They’ll cook a little faster, so watch closely. Bone-in chops are my favorite for best results, but boneless chops work if that’s what you have.

Use an instant-read thermometer or digital meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the meat should reach 145°F for juicy, tender pork.

Absolutely. Cooked pork chops keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to preserve the golden brown crust.

Start them in a hot cast-iron skillet or nonstick skillet for 2–3 minutes per side before broiling. The high heat gives a beautiful golden crust without drying out the meat.

Yes! Air fryer pork chops cook quickly and develop a crisp exterior. Adjust cooking time based on thickness — use an instant-read thermometer for the thickest part of the meat.

My favorite sides of the pork chops include roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed green beans, or brussels sprouts. You can also just serve with a simple salad for a fast weeknight dinner.

Bring the pork to room temperature before cooking.
Use a hot pan or medium-high heat for that crust.
Don’t skip the resting step — it locks in juices and flavor.
