Smothered Baked Pork Chops with Mustard Garlic Coating

Remove pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.

Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete meal.

Tips for Perfect Pork Chops

Thickness matters: For thicker chops (1.5 inches or more), increase baking time to 35–40 minutes.

Flavor variations: Add a teaspoon of honey or a pinch of paprika to the mustard mixture for a sweet or smoky twist.

Moisture lock: Avoid overbaking; resting the chops after baking ensures they remain juicy.

Result: Tender, flavorful pork chops with a rich mustard-garlic crust — simple, comforting, and absolutely delicious.
