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 ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Season the pork chops well: Pork chops can handle a lot of seasoning, so don't be afraid to be generous. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
- Sear the pork chops over high heat: This will help create a nice crust on the outside of the chops, while keeping the inside juicy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the pork chops will steam instead of sear.
- Reduce the heat and cook the pork chops until they are done: The internal temperature of the pork chops should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chops, making them even more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Pan-fried pork chops are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make sure that your pork chops come out perfectly cooked and flavorful every time.
