Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to ensure they sear properly.
Rub both sides of each pork chop with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Use tongs to flip the pork chops carefully.
Reduce the heat to medium, then pour the chicken broth into the skillet. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and let the pork chops cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes before serving to retain their juices.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes or a green salad. Enjoy!
