Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Rub the spice mixture evenly on both sides of each pork chop.
Step 5
Once the skillet is hot, add the pork chops and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving them, to create a golden-brown crust.
Step 6
Flip the pork chops and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the pork chops warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
