Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 cup chicken or vegetable broth
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels on both sides to ensure a good sear.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, 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 until it shimmers.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the skillet, letting it melt.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and quickly scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits (this adds flavor).
Simmer the chops in the broth for 2-3 minutes to infuse them with extra flavor and keep them juicy.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, spoon a bit of the pan sauce over the pork chops for extra flavor.
