Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 pieces optional lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Rub the seasoning mixture on both sides of each pork chop.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and fresh parsley, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour the garlic butter over the seared pork chops, covering them evenly.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the sliced onion. Sprinkle with brown sugar and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown.
Serve the pork chops warm, topped with the caramelized onions and an optional squeeze of lemon juice. Pair with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
