Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. This helps them cook more evenly.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.

Step 3

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then generously season both sides of the chops with the seasoning blend.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering but not smoking.

Step 5

Carefully place the pork chops in the skillet, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes until they develop a golden-brown crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.

Step 7

Tilt the skillet slightly to one side, and using a spoon, continuously baste the pork chops with the melted butter and herb-garlic mixture for about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They are done when the temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil, for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Serve the pork chops warm, drizzled with the garlic butter sauce from the skillet. Pair with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a delicious meal.
