Ingredients

4 bone-in pork chops about 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cloves garlic peeled and lightly crushed

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
Pat 4 bone-in pork chops dry and rub the seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the pork chops.
Place ¼ cup all-purpose flour on a plate and lightly dredge each pork chop, shaking off any excess flour.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the pork chops and 2 peeled, lightly crushed garlic cloves.
Cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side until golden brown and crispy.
Flip the chops, add the remaining butter, and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Baste the chops with the pan juices during the last minute of cooking.
Remove pork chops and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Discard the garlic cloves and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the chops.

Notes

For even cooking, take the pork chops out of the refrigerator about 15-20 minutes before cooking.

Thickness matters: Adjust cooking time for thinner or thicker chops.

Thinner chops will cook faster, while thicker ones may need a few extra minutes.

Adjust the amount of garlic powder if you prefer a milder garlic flavor.
