Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for best results.

Step 3

Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature (about 15-20 minutes). Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and let it melt until it begins to foam.

Step 5

Carefully place the pork chops into the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan; sear in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the chicken broth. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and let the pork chops simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for garnish before serving.

Step 9

Serve the pork chops hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp salad.
