    Baked pork chops in a skillet with overlay text that reads, "garlic rosemary pork chops".

    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

    How to Prepare

    Following is a brief overview – please see the recipe card at the bottom for full detailed instructions.

    Seasoned pork chops on a cutting board and a bowl of melted butter with garlic and rosemary.
    1. Season chops with salt and pepper.
    2. Stir together melted butter, rosemary and garlic in a small bowl.

      Recipe turned out great! Pork chops were nice and juicy, and tasted delicious. Instructions were easy to follow and perfectly on point.

      Made with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Will likely make these again
