Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork chops, bone-in
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.75 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and stir to combine, cooking for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, then add the heavy cream.

Step 7

Stir in the parsley and thyme, and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the tops.

Step 9

Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes over low heat, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Serve the pork chops hot, drizzled with the creamy herbed sauce, alongside your favorite sides.
