Heat Sicilian olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Prepare fresh herbs by pulling leaves off rosemary and oregano, and chopping them finely.

Add fresh mint to the herb mixture and combine.

Season the herb mixture with salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and lemon juice.

Mix the herbs and seasonings together to create a marinade.

Place the center-cut boneless pork chops in the marinade and let them sit for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

After marinating, heat the skillet with olive oil and add the pork chops.

Cook the pork chops for about 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through (approximately 5 minutes per side).

Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest briefly.

Serve the pork chops with ciabatta bread that has been seared in the skillet to soak up the flavors.
