HOW LONG TO COOK PORK CHOPS IN OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
• If using crescent roll dough, unroll dough into 2 long rectangles. Overlap long sides to form rectangle; firmly press perforations and edges to seal. If using dough sheet, unroll dough.
• Spread butter in thin layer over dough. Sprinkle half of cinnamon-sugar over butter.
• Starting with one short side, fold dough in half. With rolling pin, gently roll out dough into rectangle. Repeat again. With 3-inch cookie cutter or canning lid, cut out 6 cookies. Re-roll remaining dough; cut out 1 cookie. Place on cookie sheet.
• Bake about 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. While cookies are warm, dust with additional cinnamon-sugar. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In small bowl, beat frosting ingredients with spoon or whisk until thick and smooth. Pipe frosting onto cookies.

Steps:

• Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and season on both sides with salt and pepper — we use just less than 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt per pork chop. Set the chops aside to rest for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190° C).
• Heat the oil in a large oven-safe skillet — such as a cast iron pan — over medium-high heat. As soon as the oil is hot and looks shimmery, pat the pork dry, and then add the pork. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. While the pork sears, scatter half of the thyme over the side of the pork chops that are facing up.
• Flip the pork so that the seared side is facing up. (If there is a fattier side of the pork, use kitchen tongs to hold the chops, fat-side-down until it sizzles and browns slightly; about 30 seconds.)
• Scatter the remaining thyme over the seared side of the pork. Arrange lemon wedges around the chops, and then loosely cover with foil or tuck parchment paper around the pan. Slide the skillet into the oven to finish cooking. (If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the pork chops to a baking dish.)
• Bake 8 to 15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. (Since cook time depends on the thickness of the chops, check for doneness at 5 minutes, then go from there, checking every 2 minutes.) If you do not have a thermometer, you will know they are done, if the juices run clear when cutting into the chops.
• Transfer pork chops to a plate, then cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes. Serve with additional herbs, roasted lemon wedges, and a spoonful of pan juices on top.
