Notes
For best results, use pork chops that are at least 1-inch thick to prevent them from drying out.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops reach the safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Don't skip the resting time, as it allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
This seasoning mix can also be used on chicken or steak.
For a complete meal, consider adding vegetables to the baking dish for a sheet pan dinner.
