Use an instant-read thermometer to test its internal temperature for a perfectly cooked, moist, and flavorful pork chop. Chops should reach an internal temperature of 145degF after 14 to 17 minutes in the oven. Thinner chops should be cooked for less time. Once cooked, remove the pork chop from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, and then serve. To make this preparation more elegant, do the pork chops with additional herbs, roasted lemon wedges, and pan juices.
