The Best Juicy Skillet Pork Chops

Say goodbye to dry and flavorless pork chops. With a few simple tricks, you can make juicy and tender pork chops with very little fuss. I love how juicy these are!

I am sharing more of a method for cooking pork chops rather than a recipe. I highly recommend this spice rub and pan sauce, but you can use your favorite spices instead. For the best results, I cook the pork chops on the stovetop — hello, beautiful sear!

Ingredients:

• 4 pork chops, about 1-inch thick and 6 to 7 ounces each, see notes
