Best Baked Pork Chops

Ingredients
½ tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
4 bone-in pork chops, ½ or 1 inch thick, 6-8oz each
Olive oil cooking spray (you can make your own with a spray bottle)

Instructions
If your chops are 1 inch thick, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place it in the oven to allow it to heat up.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, salt and pepper, then rub the mixture onto both sides of the chops.
When oven has reached 400 degrees, sear the chops: Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat, about 3 minutes. Spray with olive oil cooking spray. Add the pork chops. Sear 2 minutes per side, without moving the chops, until well-browned, even charred in spots.
If your chops are ½-inch thick, they should be ready now (check with a thermometer – internal temperature should reach 145 degrees F). Transfer to a platter, loosely cover with foil and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.
If your pork chops are 1 inch thick, transfer them to the hot baking sheet, place in the oven and bake 10 minutes, to a slightly rosy internal temperature of 145 degrees F.* Transfer to a platter, tent with foil and allow to rest 5 minutes, then serve.
