Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Place the pork chops between two pieces of plastic wrap.

Step 4

Very gently pound the covered pork chops using a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat mallet. The purpose is not to flatten them much but rather to tenderize them, so 4-5 gentle smacks will do.

Step 5

Rub the tenderized pork chops with the oil and the mustard.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 7

Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork chops.

Step 8

Place the chops on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake the coated pork chops until an instant thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F, about 12-15 minutes, or depending on the thickness, about 6 minutes per 1/2 inch of thickness.

Step 10

Turn the oven to broil.

Step 11

Broil the baked pork chops until browned, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 12

Transfer the baked pork chops out of the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 13

Serve.
