Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet until melted.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, incorporating any browned bits for added flavor.
Slowly stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Stir in the chopped parsley and thyme leaves for added fresh flavor.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and let them simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes to fully heat and absorb the flavors.
Serve the pork chops immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a satisfying meal.
