Pork chop

Here’s a simple, juicy pork chop recipe 🥩

Ingredients (serves 1–2)

• 1–2 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, ¾–1 inch thick)
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• 1–2 tbsp olive oil or butter
• Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or herbs (rosemary, thyme)

Instructions

1. Prep pork chop
   Pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
2. Cook
   • Skillet method:
     Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
     Cook pork chops 4–5 minutes per side (for 1-inch thick) until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
   • Oven method (for thicker chops):
     Sear 2–3 minutes per side in a skillet, then transfer to a 400°F (205°C) oven for 8–10 minutes.
3. Rest
   Let pork chops rest 3–5 minutes before serving to keep them juicy.

Tips

• Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
• Marinate or brine chops for extra flavor.
• Pair with potatoes, veggies, or applesauce for a classic meal.

I can also give a breaded pork chop, slow-cooker version, or garlic herb butter–topped version.
