Marinate pork chops with olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and salt for at least 30 minutes.

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Cook the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.

Remove the pork chops and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add vegetables of choice and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in lemon juice and chopped parsley for freshness.

Prepare rice according to package instructions using chicken broth instead of water for added flavor.

Serve the pork chops alongside the sautéed vegetables and rice.
