Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Season thick-cut pork chops with salt, pepper, and thyme.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Sear the pork chops on both sides for 3 to 4 minutes until they develop a golden crust. Searing enhances the flavor and locks in juices.

Bake them for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
