Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Allow the pork to sit while you heat the pan.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the pan and set them aside on a plate, covering loosely with foil.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan and combine all the browned bits. Let the broth reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, thyme, and lemon juice. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy herb sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chops and simmer for another 3-4 minutes to warm them through.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the pork chops immediately with a generous drizzle of the creamy herb sauce.
