Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.

Rub olive oil over each chop, then season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Place a skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to get hot.

Add the pork chops to the skillet without overcrowding the pan.

Sear the chops for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.

Flip the chops using tongs.

Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

Remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
