Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.
Rub the seasoning blend evenly over both sides of each pork chop.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the pork chops and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium and add chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the pork chops to simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the lid and let the sauce reduce slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle the pork chops with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the pork chops with your favorite low-carb side, such as sautéed zucchini or cauliflower rice.
