Pat the boneless pork chops dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each pork chop.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the seasoned pork chops into the skillet.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip them over.
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt. Use a spoon to baste the pork chops with the melted butter for additional flavor.
Lower the heat to medium and continue cooking the pork chops for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
While the pork chops are resting, sprinkle them with fresh parsley and drizzle with fresh lemon juice for a bright, zesty finish.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
