Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops.
Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C). Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat to low, then add heavy cream and stir it into the sauce. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice, mixing well to combine the flavors.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the garlic sauce over them. Simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the pork chops through and coat them in the sauce.
Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired, alongside your favorite sides (e.g., mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables).
