- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter

- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, or ½ tsp dried thyme
For serving
- 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, then season both sides of each chop evenly with the spice mixture.

Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork chops in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the underside is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes more.
