Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by seasoning the pork chops on both sides with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Let them rest at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the pan.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they form a golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops and set them aside (they will finish cooking later).
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine and allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the pork chops cook in the sauce for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of chicken broth to loosen it.
Serve the pork chops hot, spooning the Parmesan sauce generously over each chop. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
