Steps:
- Place flour in a shallow dish.
- Pat pork chops dry and season liberally with seasoned salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge the pork chops in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Melt butter and oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chops to the hot skillet and cook until browned on both sides and a meat thermometer registers 140°F - 145°F (about 7-10 minutes per side). Smaller bone-in pork chops will cook in 5-6 minutes per side, so just keep an eye on your chops and use the thermometer to know when they're done. The internal temperature of the pork chops will continue to rise after you remove them from the pan.
- Transfer pork chops to a plate, tent with foil, and allow to rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Note: Depending on the size of your pan (and pork chops), you might need to cook the pork chops in batches of two. Just make sure that you don't overcrowd your pan by trying to squeeze too many chops in at once!

Steps:
- Rinse pork chops, pat dry and season both sides evenly with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops until bottom side is golden brown and seared about 1-2 minutes.
- Turn and cook on other side about 1-2 minutes before turning again. Repeat flipping the chops until they are deep golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°, 8-10 minutes (cooking time will depend on thickness of chops).
- Once pork chops reach desired temperature, add butter and thyme and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, spooning the butter on top of the pork chops as they continue to cook.
- Spoon the butter-sauce from the pan over the pork chops one last time and place on a serving plate.
- Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes on a plate tented with foil, then serve. (Letting them rest allows them to become fully tender and juicy!)

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Season the pork chops well: Don't be afraid to season the pork chops generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help them develop a delicious crust and flavor.
- Use a well-seasoned skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help prevent the pork chops from sticking and will also help them develop a nice brown crust.
- Cook the pork chops over medium-high heat: This will help them sear quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the pork chops will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will help them retain their juices and flavor.
Conclusion:
Skillet-fried pork chops are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your pork chops are cooked perfectly every time.
