Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless pork chops (at least 1-inch thick)

- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground preferred)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a small bowl.

- Place the pork chops on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side until golden brown.

Notes
