Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops, bone-in
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and stir to combine, cooking for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, then add the heavy cream.
Stir in the parsley and thyme, and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the tops.
Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes over low heat, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Serve the pork chops hot, drizzled with the creamy herbed sauce, alongside your favorite sides.
