Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, then set aside on a plate. Heat canola oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add butter. When butter is melted and butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 3 pork chops at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side; 1 to 2 minutes on the other side.
Step 3. Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, rosemary, sage, marjoram and garlic powder. Place the pork chops in the skillet. Step 4. Cook the pork chops for about 5 minutes per side, or until they are a nice, brown color on each side.
