Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 bone-in pork chops about 1 inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Tongs
  • Meat thermometer
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to help achieve a nice sear.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Generously rub this mixture all over the pork chops.
  3. Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  4. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the pork chops in the skillet.
  5. Cook the pork chops for about 5-7 minutes without moving them.
  6. Using tongs, flip the chops and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  7. Transfer the chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the pork chops before serving.

Notes

These pork chops pair beautifully with sides like garlic mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
