Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 bone-in pork chops about 1 inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  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.

  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
