Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium, then add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze, creating a flavorful pan sauce.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them to coat.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the pork chops for 8-10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon more garlic sauce over the chops, and enjoy!
