Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Generously season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Drizzle oil into the pan.
  4. Add pork chops to the pan and sear on both sides for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  5. To prepare the sauce, add butter to the pan. Once melted, stir in garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Notes

I like to use really thick boneless pork chops because they retain a lot of moisture, but you can use thin pork chops for this recipe – just be sure to reduce the cooking time since they will cook more quickly!
