Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring until the sauce begins to thicken.
Place the pork chops back into the skillet and spoon the garlic Parmesan sauce over them.
Cover and simmer gently for 5–8 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
Notes
Ensure the pork chops are at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference.
