Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork cutlets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the pork cutlets on both sides with salt and black pepper. Let them sit for about 5 minutes at room temperature.
Peel and mince 4 garlic cloves. Reserve 2 garlic cloves and smash them lightly with the side of a knife.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork cutlets and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter along with the smashed garlic cloves. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and cook for an additional minute to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup of chicken broth, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, along with the minced garlic. Simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
Return the pork cutlets to the skillet, along with any juices they released. Spoon the garlic cream sauce over the cutlets and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the flavors meld together.
Garnish with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
