Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Season pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set aside on a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Reduce heat to medium and sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Stir well, scraping any browned bits from the bottom.
Step 6
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, cover with a lid, and steam for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 7
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them among the broccoli. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Serve the pork chops and broccoli immediately, spooning the pan sauce over the top for extra flavor.
