Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 12 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove chops from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the garlic (minced) and sage leaves. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice, then return the pork chops to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let the chops simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, or until they are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the pork chops topped with the sage butter sauce, pairing them with your choice of sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
