  • 4–5 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  5. Flip the chops over and add butter, minced garlic, and herbs to the skillet.
  6. Baste the chops with the melted garlic butter for flavor.
