<human>:  What's the best way to prepare pork chops?
<bot>: The best way to prepare pork chops is to season them with salt and pepper, then pan fry them over medium-high heat for about 8 minutes, flipping them once halfway through the cooking process. To ensure that the chops are cooked through, you can use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Finally, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
