Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
When the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt the butter.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add heavy cream, stirring to combine, and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the fresh dill and lemon juice. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the flour with 1 tablespoon of water to make a slurry, and gradually stir it into the sauce.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover the skillet and let them cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
Remove from heat and let the pork chops rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve warm, spooning extra dill sauce over the pork chops.
