Ingredients:

3     Tablespoons Olive Oil
1     Pound of Boneless Center Cut Pork Chops, Cubed
¼    Cup All-Purpose Flour
1     Teaspoon Chopped Fresh or 1/2 Teaspoon Dried Thyme Leaves

3. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat and brown the outside of the pork. Remove the pork and set aside.
