  6. Pour the garlic-thyme butter over the seared pork chops and baste for about 30 seconds.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 10-14 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
