Cooking Instructions:
Begin by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps to guarantee a nice sear. Season both sides of the chops evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to work in batches if your skillet is small.
Cook the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, allowing a nice golden-brown crust to form. Flip the chops and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This resting time allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender chop.
After resting, garnish with fresh parsley and serve your gluten-free pork chops with your choice of sides.
For best results, remember to use a meat thermometer to guarantee that your pork chops are cooked perfectly. Avoid overcooking, as this can lead to dry meat.
Additionally, consider marinating the pork chops for a few hours or overnight to enhance their flavor even further. Enjoy your meal with confidence, knowing you've created a delicious gluten-free dish!
