Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Bone-in pork chops
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup Chicken broth
  • 2 cloves Minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
  • 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside to rest.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the skillet by scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Let the broth simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream, fresh parsley, fresh thyme leaves, and grated Parmesan cheese. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the creamy herb sauce over them. Let them cook in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to warm through and absorb the flavors.

Step 7

Serve the pork chops hot, topped with extra sauce and garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
