Baked pork chops recipes are a great choice for both easy everyday dinners and stress-free casual entertaining.
While the pork chops bake, you can easily work on making the salad and/or vegetables that will accompany them.
To keep things even easier, consider baking or roasting some potatoes or a vegetable medley in a pan beside the chops.
Of course, all cooking times are approximate since the actual time required to cook your pork chops will depend on a number of variables including the size and thickness of your pork chops, your oven’s temperature, and your desired degree of doneness.

Do you prefer chicken to pork?
You can substitute both boneless skinless chicken breasts and bone-in chicken breasts for any of these baked pork chops recipes.
Just adjust your cooking times accordingly – usually 20 to 30 minutes for boneless, skinless breasts and 30 to 40 for bone-in.
I particularly enjoy substituting chicken for the herb breaded oven-baked pork chops recipe.
