Easy Pan Seared Pork Chops
Instructions
Prep:5minCook:15min
Easy pan-seared pork chops with a deep golden crust and juicy, tender center — made in one skillet in under 20 minutes. The key is starting with thick-cut chops (at least 1 inch), a screaming-hot cast iron pan, and not moving them until they release naturally. Season generously with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder, then sear over medium-high heat for 3–5 minutes per side. Pull at 140°F — carryover heat brings them to the perfect 145°F while they rest. Simple, fast, and reliably delicious every time.
