Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
For this recipe i'm using thinly cut pork chops so cook time may vary depending on the size of your pork chops always cook pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees
To make the garlic butter add the garlic to your softened butter and mix well
To a small bowl combine the paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, thyme and salt then mix until well combined
Make sure you have thoroughly washed and dried your chops then season generously on both sides.
Add the olive oil to your cast iron skillet then using medium heat bring your skillet to temperature.
Fry the pork chops for four minutes on both sides
Top with the garlic butter then transfer to the preheated oven
Cook for an additional eight minutes then it is ready to serve
