Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops.
Step 3
Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C). Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, then add heavy cream and stir it into the sauce. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice, mixing well to combine the flavors.
Step 8
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the garlic sauce over them. Simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the pork chops through and coat them in the sauce.
Step 9
Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired, alongside your favorite sides (e.g., mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables).
