🍳 Pan-Seared Ranch Pork Chops (Juicy & Fast)
Ingredients
2–4 raw pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
1–2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
Optional: garlic powder, black pepper
Instructions
Pat pork chops dry. Sprinkle ranch seasoning on both sides (press it in a bit).
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook pork chops 4–5 minutes per side (thicker chops may need a little longer).
