Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Sear the pork chops in the skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and butter mixture, stirring well to create a roux.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Then add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chops. Cover and simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Sprinkle the finished dish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the pork chops hot with the creamy garlic sauce drizzled generously over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
