Juicy Pork Chops

To make juicy pork chops, follow this recipe:

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Pat dry the pork chops with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
3. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. Rub the spice mixture evenly on both sides of the pork chops.
5. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes per side until they develop a golden brown crust.
7. Transfer the skillet with the pork chops to the preheated oven.
8. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chops, so use a meat thermometer to ensure they are properly cooked.
9. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
10. Serve the juicy pork chops hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Following these steps should result in tender and juicy pork chops with a flavorful crust. Enjoy your meal!
