Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and then rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the butter and stir until melted, creating a flavorful sauce.
Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
