Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Add the olive oil to the skillet and let it heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a nice golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Then stir in the heavy cream.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 8

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the cheesy sauce over the top.

Step 9

Cover the skillet and let the pork chops simmer in the sauce for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
