Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.25 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

When the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet.

Step 7

Once the butter has melted, spoon it over the pork chops to baste them while cooking for another 2-3 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom to create a quick pan sauce.

Step 9

Allow the pork chops to simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 10

Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm, spooning the pan sauce over the pork chops.
