Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Chops

    Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Pork Chops

    Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork chops.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Cook the Pork Chops

    Add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and are golden brown.

  3. 5

    Add Fresh Herbs

    In the last minute of cooking, add the fresh rosemary sprigs to the skillet to infuse flavor into the pork chops.

  4. 6

    Rest the Pork Chops

    Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes before serving.

Optional Sides Cooking

  1. 7

    Prepare Mashed Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes until tender, drain, and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste.

  2. 8

    Steam Broccoli

    In a pot, bring water to a boil, add broccoli, and steam for about 5 minutes until bright green and tender.
