Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. This helps the seasoning stick.
Mix garlic, paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Rub the seasoning mix evenly on both sides of each pork chop.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Add butter to the pan, spooning it over the pork chops as they finish cooking.
Cook until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (about 6–8 minutes total depending on thickness).
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.
