Garlic Rosemary Pork Chops are a comforting and flavorful dinner on the table in just 30 minutes. This is a hassle-free main course that couldn’t be easier to prepare!
This simple recipe takes pork chops to a whole new level. Seasoned pork chops are seared golden brown on the stovetop, coated with a buttery garlic and rosemary mixture, then baked to perfection.
What I love about this recipe is that it’s quick and simple to serve on a busy weeknight, yet elegant enough for a special occasion. It’s also budget-friendly which is a BONUS!
Ingredients Notes
- You’ll need center cut, bone-in pork chops – about one inch thick. You can make two to four pork chops with this recipe. You’ll more than likely need a larger 12 inch cast iron skillet (or oven proof skillet) if preparing three or four. I am using a 12 inch skillet in the images shown.
- Salt and black pepper – for seasoning
- Olive oil – for searing before going into the oven
- Butter
- Rosemary – fresh is best!
- Garlic
