Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper together.
Rub the pork chops evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture on all sides, coating thoroughly.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and olive oil.
Once the butter has melted and begins to sizzle, add the pork chops to the skillet.
Cook the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, covering loosely with foil to rest.
Deglaze the skillet by adding chicken broth, stirring and scraping up any browned bits at the bottom of the pan.
Let the broth simmer for 1-2 minutes until it slightly reduces to create a simple pan sauce.
Pour the sauce over the rested pork chops and serve immediately.
