To use the simplest method, bake your pork chops at 350 F on a shallow, uncovered roasting pan. Using this method, expect bone-in pork chops to require about 20 minutes cooking time per pound, and boneless pork chops to need about 23 minutes per pound. Remember, these are only approximations, and the meat's internal temperature is the key to perfectly cooked meals.
How to Test Pork Chops for Doneness. The thickness of a pork chop will determine its final cooking time, regardless of whether it's boneless or bone-in.
