Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Rub the seasoning into the meat to ensure even coverage.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops to the skillet in a single layer.
Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Reduce the heat to medium if necessary to prevent burning.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. Lower the heat to medium.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Stir in the barbecue sauce and water, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet to deglaze the pan.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon some of the barbecue sauce over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the pork chops simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve hot with your favorite sides.
