Creating Garlic Butter Pan Seared Pork Chops is as simple as following these steps:

1. Prepare the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Pan: Place a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt.
3. Sear the Pork Chops: Once the butter is sizzling, add the pork chops to the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving them until they are nicely browned.
4. Flip the Chops: Use tongs to flip the pork chops and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
5. Add Garlic: Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the minced garlic to the pan, and stir it around the pork chops.
6. Incorporate Remaining Butter: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt, spooning the mixture over the chops for added flavor.
7. Rest the Chops: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh thyme or parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.

These steps will help you achieve tender, flavorful pork chops every time!
