Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry using paper towels. This helps achieve a crispy sear.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Step 6
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 7
Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Step 8
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the pork chops simmer for 5 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 3 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Step 10
Serve the pork chops with the pan sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
