Preparation
Step 1
In a large shallow dish, combine all but 1 tablespoon of the oil with the olives, shallot, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, oregano and thyme sprigs. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Step 2
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Season the pork chops all over with salt and pepper and add 2 pieces to the skillet. Cook until golden underneath, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until golden on the second side and cooked through, 1 ½ to 2 minutes longer. Transfer to the marinade and turn to coat. Repeat with the remaining 2 pork chops.
Step 3
Let the chops marinate, turning and basting occasionally, for 15 to 30 minutes. Serve right away, warm or at room temperature, or refrigerate and enjoy chilled within 3 days.
