- 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the pork chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth simmer and reduce slightly for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chops.
- Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, turning once to coat.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For thicker chops, you may need to finish cooking them in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven after searing.
- You can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth if preferred.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the sauce.
