Step 1

In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine the Italian dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 2

Add the pork chops to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork chops to the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and reach an internal temperature of 145°F.

Step 6

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Allow them to rest for a few minutes.
