  • Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help enhance their flavor.
  • Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet until they are browned on both sides. This will help seal in the juices and prevent them from drying out.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the pork chops for an additional 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness; the internal temperature should reach 145°F.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, green beans, and applesauce.
