Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking. Alternatively, you can use a grill or stovetop skillet for this recipe.

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to ensure the seasoning sticks well.

In a small bowl, mix the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a golden-brown crust.

If using the oven, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).

If grilling, cook the pork chops over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.

Remove the pork chops from the oven or grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy bite.

Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
