Seasoned Pan-Seared Pork Chops

These lightly seasoned chops are my Easter dinner favorite, and have a hint of lemon flavors. They are also a great way to entertain guests and family.

Seasoned Pan-Seared Pork Chops

4 10 oz. bone-in pork chops
1 tablespoon dried ground thyme
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
salt and black pepper

Season both sides of the pork chops with thyme, black pepper, and salt.

In a large oven-safe stainless steel or iron-cast frying pan, add olive oil and heat over medium-low heat. Add chops once the pan and olive oil have heated, and cook for about 25 minutes, or until that side has thoroughly cooked and browned. Turn the chops over, and finish in a 350 degree oven until the chops have been thoroughly cooked, or about 20 minutes. Once out of the oven, let cool for about 3 minutes, and serve.

Serves approximately 4.
