Pan-fried pork chops are juicy and tender and couldn’t be easier to make. The seasoning is classic and well balanced with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme, but you can use any seasoning you prefer, from homemade Creole seasoning to even lemon-pepper seasoning.
Hearty, tender pork chops become nicely seared in a hot cast-iron pan. Let the pork chops come to room temperature before adding to a hot pan to help with even cooking. Serve with a wild rice pilaf and roasted vegetables or salad. Leftover pork chops can be sliced up and used in wraps, sandwiches or salad.
