In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove pork chops from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
