Tips to cook juicy boneless pork chops:

Preferably use fresh, never frozen pork chops.
Bring pork chops to room temperature before roasting. Take them out of the fridge 30 minutes before you plan to cook them.
Bake at 400 F for 7 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of the pork chops. Pork's internal temperature needs to be 145 F in order for the meat to be safe to eat.
Bone in pork chops require some extra cooking time compared to boneless pork chops. You may want to add an extra minute for each 1/2 inch if you're using bone-in pork chops.
Use a baking dish with walls, instead of cookie sheet, since the meat releases some juice, that we would like to preserve. This way the meat baking in the juice stays moist.
All you need for seasoning the pork chops is a blend of simple spices – salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Rub pork chops with the seasoning and let them sit for at least 5 minutes if you have the time.
Don't cut the baked pork chops right away. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes, before you bake.
