Baked Ranch Pork Chops

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 9x13-inch glass baking pan with a generous amount of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3. Arrange Pork Chops: Place the pork chops in the prepared baking pan.
4. Add Butter: Cut the butter into small slices and lay them on top of all the pork chops. This will add flavor and moisture to the chops.
5. Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the ranch seasoning packet, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure the seasonings are well combined.
6. Season Pork Chops: Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the pork chops. Ensure that all the chops are coated with the seasoning mixture.
7. Lightly Spray: Lightly spray the top of the pork chops with cooking spray. This will help them brown and develop a nice crust.
8. Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F for approximately 30 minutes, uncovered. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your pork chops, so use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach a safe internal temperature of 145°F.
9. Broil: After baking, switch the oven to broil mode and cook the pork chops for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the edges become crispy and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them during this step to avoid burning.
10. Serve: Remove the baked ranch pork chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chops tender and flavorful.
