Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to cook the pork chops. This will help to prevent the meat from sticking and burning.
Cook the pork chops over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the pork chops, as they will become dry and tough.
