Note

For the best results, choose bone-in pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. Thinner chops tend to dry out quickly. The thicker ones may not cook quickly, without finishing them in the oven. Letting the chops rest before cooking allows for more even searing, and a 5-minute resting time after cooking ensures maximum juiciness. The garlic butter and thyme add rich, herby flavors that elevate the meat without overpowering it. You can substitute rosemary or sage based on your preference. Be sure not to overcook—pork is perfectly safe at 63°C (145°F) and stays tender. This dish pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or fresh salads. If you're aiming for a low-carb or keto-friendly meal, serve it with sautéed spinach or steamed broccoli.
