Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning.
Lightly dredge the pork chops in all-purpose flour, shaking off excess.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
When the butter is melted and sizzling, add the pork chops to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside to rest.
Lower the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt and brown, about 2 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chicken broth and the remaining 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the browned garlic butter sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm through.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
