Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, carefully add the pork chops in a single layer. Sear the chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce heat to medium and add chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom.
Stir in the butter until melted to create a simple pan sauce.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over them.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reads 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with the pan sauce drizzled on top.
