Ingredients
  

4 bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.

    Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. This will infuse your pork chops with incredible flavor.

      Season the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Rub the olive oil on both sides of each chop, then season generously with salt and pepper.

        Coat with Garlic Butter: Place the pork chops in the prepared baking dish. Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top and sides of each pork chop, ensuring they are well coated.

          Bake the Pork Chops: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C). Halfway through the cooking time, spoon some of the melted garlic butter from the bottom of the dish over the chops for extra flavor.

            Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with chopped parsley.

              Enjoy: Dig in and savor the juicy, flavorful garlic butter pork chops!
