Ingredients
- 3 medium heritage breed pork chops bone-in
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1-2 teaspoon Italian seasoning chopped
- ½ teaspoon paprika powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tbsp. olive oil extra virgen
- 3 tbsp grass-fed butter — melted use Ghee if you're doing Whole30
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Season pork chops with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, paprika and garlic powder and set aside.
- In a cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. When the skillet is really hot add pork chops. Sear until they become brown-golden. It’s about 2-4 minutes each side (time will depend on the thickness of the pork chops).
- Pour butter over the pork chops.
- Place skillet in the oven and cook until cooked through. It’s about 10-12 minutes or until pork chops get the internal temperature of 145F (Don’t overcook, otherwise they’ll be dry).
- Remove from the oven. Using a spoon, pour some of the melted butter left in the skillet onto the pork chops before serving.

Notes
- Make sure to give your pork chops a few minutes to rest before cutting so they can redistribute the moisture.
- Thick cut pork chops are ideal as they won't overcook as easily.
- If you bring your pork chops to room temperature before cooking, they'll cook more evenly.
- To store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To reheat: You can reheat leftovers on the stove or in the microwave.
- To freeze: Freeze the cooked pork chops in an airtight bag for up to 3 months.
