Preheat oven to 425F. Preheat with a baking sheet in the oven so it gets hot.
Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave. Add the Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Place the pork chops on a plate and dry each side with a paper towel.
Baste one side of the pork chop with some of the butter.
When the oven is hot, add the pork chops directly on the preheated baking sheet, butter side down. Finish basting the pork chops on the top side with the remaining butter.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes for 1/2 inch pork chops (or 20 minutes for 1 inch pork chops) until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145.
Remove from oven and let rest 3-5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Bone in pork chops will take approximately 1 minute longer per 1/2 inch of thickness than a boneless pork chop.If you want more browning on the pork chops, sear first over medium high heat quickly in a skillet and then finish cooking in the oven as needed.
