Generously sprinkle both sides of your pork chops with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Melt the butter and olive oil together in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the hot skillet, stirring until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Place the seasoned pork chops in the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
