Herb-Crusted Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 6 pork chops (200g each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 150g of asparagus, trimmed
• 200g of cherry tomatoes, halved

Kitchen Tools Needed:

• Frying pan
• Meat thermometer
• Cutting board
• Knife
• Mixing bowl

Instructions:

• Preheat the frying pan over medium heat and add olive oil.
• In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
• Rub the herb mixture onto both sides of the pork chops, coating them evenly.
• Add the pork chops to the hot pan and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
• In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the asparagus and cherry tomatoes to the pan, allowing them to roast with the pork chops and absorb the flavors.
