Depends on how thick they are. A 2 to 2 1/2 lb bone-in pork chop will take 8-10 minutes to pan fry over medium high heat...turning it every minute or so for even cooking and to get a nice golden brown. The internal temp should be 145 degrees F after resting for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the salt, thyme and pepper on the pork chops. Let sit on counter top for 30 minutes. Place oil in large cast iron skillet (or heavy stainless steel skillet) and heat until medium hot. Place chops in the pan, placing them so they don't touch each other. Cook each side slowly (lower heat if necessary) until nice and golden brown on each side. This will take about 4 minutes per side. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid. Turn off the heat, and let the chops sit for about 8- 10 minutes, depending on thickness of chops. After removing chops, you can de-glaze the pan with a little water, wine or broth and a touch of butter and serve as a sauce.
