Instructions

  • 3. Season both sides of the pork chops with a little salt and pepper.

Notes

  • :**
  • – If you prefer thicker pork chops, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
  • – You can also cook these pork chops in the oven after searing them for 10-12 minutes at 375°F if you prefer a hands-off method.
  • – Make sure to check the internal temperature of the pork to ensure it’s fully cooked but still juicy.
