Pan-Seared Pork Chops with Garlic Butter

Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 3 tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic, smashed
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. 1Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. 2Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3. 3Add the chops and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side without moving them, until a deep golden crust forms.
4. 4Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter, garlic, and thyme, and tilt the pan to spoon the melted butter over the chops for about 2 minutes.
5. 5Check doneness with a meat thermometer, pulling the chops once the center reaches 145°F.
6. 6Rest the chops on a plate for 5 minutes, then spoon the garlic butter over the top and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
