Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Add minced garlic and fresh herbs to the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Check the internal temperature; it should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chops rest for 5 minutes.
Prepare any sauce with pan drippings, if desired.
Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy!
