Method
Preparation
- 1
Prep the Pork Chops
Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and allow them to reach room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.
- 2
Marinate the Chops
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated. Allow the chops to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Pan
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to heat up for about 2 minutes.
- 4
Cook the Pork Chops
Add the marinated pork chops to the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice golden-brown crust forms. Flip the chops and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- 5
Rest the Chops
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate. Cover with aluminum foil and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain their juices.

Plate and Garnish
Serve the pork chops hot, garnished with lemon wedges and chopped fresh parsley for an added flavor boost.
