Garlic Butter Pork Chops Serves 2 Ingredients * 2 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick * Salt and black pepper, to taste * 1 tablespoon olive oil * 2 tablespoons butter * 3 garlic cloves, minced * 2 fresh thyme sprigs Directions 1. Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. 2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chops and sear for about 3–5 minutes per side, until golden brown. 3. Reduce the heat to low. Add the butter, garlic, and thyme. As the butter melts, spoon it over the chops until the pork reaches 145°F in the thickest part, away from the bone. 4. Transfer the chops to a plate and let them rest for 3 minutes. Spoon the garlic butter over the top before serving. Helpful tip: Start checking the temperature early—the cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chops.
