🍽️ Instructions
1. Season the Pork Chops
Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
2. Sear the Chops
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops and sear for about 4 minutes per side, until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer them to a plate and set aside.
3. Make the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, thyme, and parsley.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat.
4. Combine and Finish
Pour the garlic butter into the skillet and let it start to bubble.
Return the pork chops to the pan, spooning the melted butter mixture over the top.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes, basting frequently until the pork is coated and warmed through.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Serve the pork chops hot with your favorite sides—mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad. Drizzle the remaining garlic butter over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
