Greek Lemon Herb Pork Chops

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Add the pork chops to the marinade, turning to coat them evenly. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork chops, discarding any excess marinade.

Sear the pork chops for 4-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should register 145°F (63°C).

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
