Help me, hivemind: easy recipes for cooking a thick boneless pork chop?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My mother just did a thing where she sauteed apples and leeks and cooked the chops in that, butI don't know where the actual recipe came from. It was good, though! (I think the recipe also called for fennel.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

salt, pepper, shredded bay leaf. Brown in olive oil, then add a bit of dry white wine and simmer until done.

How do I tell when it's done? (This is generally why I don't cook pork.)

Cut it open? That's how I cook every chunk of meat, which is also why I don't usually do that.

And ooh, I just realized I could pick a couple of apples from our tree and use those!

I'd just spread butter on both sides, salt it, and pan saute over medium heat for 12 to 14 minutes, flipping it every 3 or so. Drizzle each side with honey before the last 2 flips to get some nice extra browning/carmelization.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm getting kind of hungry now, and this is not helping.

Regardless of how you cook the chops, do cook up some apples to have on the side. Classic!

I am not hungry, because my boss brought in candy. I hate when she's stressed out because I gain weight. (Yesterday was donuts.)
