Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 8 leaves fresh sage leaves
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops in a single layer. Sear for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown.
Flip the pork chops and reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, sage leaves, rosemary sprigs, and garlic cloves (slightly smashed) to the skillet.
Allow the butter to melt and spoon the herbed butter over the pork chops as they cook. Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops and set them aside on a plate to rest.
In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice and cook for an additional minute. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the pan sauce over the rested pork chops and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
