Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork loin chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Pat the boneless pork loin chops dry with paper towels and season 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 to the skillet.
Step 3
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice into the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and pick up all the brown bits.
Step 6
Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chops and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Remove the pork chops from the pan and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Optional: Serve the pork chops with the pan sauce drizzled on top and a side of your favorite vegetables or mashed potatoes.
