Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
When the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet.
Once the butter has melted, spoon it over the pork chops to baste them while cooking for another 2-3 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom to create a quick pan sauce.
Allow the pork chops to simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm, spooning the pan sauce over the pork chops.
