Creating Garlic Butter Pan Seared Pork Chops is a straightforward process. Follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Pork Chops: Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature. Pat them dry with paper towels.

2. Season the Chops: Generously season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.

3. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until it starts to bubble.

4. Sear the Pork Chops: Place the pork chops in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Sear for 4-5 minutes without moving them.

5. Flip the Chops: Once they achieve a nice golden crust, flip the pork chops using tongs. Sear the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes.

6. Add Garlic Butter: In the last couple of minutes of cooking, add the minced garlic and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Baste the pork with the melting garlic butter using a spoon.

7. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for safety.

8. Rest the Pork Chops: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for at least 5 minutes. This helps retain their juices.

9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for added flavor and color before serving.
