Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set them aside on a clean plate.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the pork chops on both sides with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over them, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 5

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and sear the pork chops for 2 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and pour the chicken or vegetable stock around the pork chops, ensuring not to pour it directly over them to avoid washing off the seasoning.

Step 7

Cover the skillet tightly with foil or a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Slow roast the pork chops for 90 minutes, basting them occasionally with the liquid in the skillet to keep them moist.

Step 9

After 90 minutes, remove the foil and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Roast uncovered for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chops to brown slightly and the sauce to thicken.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with the pan juices drizzled on top.
