Best Rated Pork Chop
Ingredients:
– 4 pork chops
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, onion powder, and cayenne pepper if using. Make sure to rub the seasonings into the meat to ensure maximum flavor.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for a couple of minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer and thicken for another 2-3 minutes. If you’d like a thicker sauce, you can let it simmer for a bit longer.
6. Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Allow the pork chops to simmer in the sauce for a few more minutes to absorb the flavors.
7. Once the pork chops are heated through and the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat.
8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
