Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Once the skillet is hot, carefully add the pork chops in a single layer. Sear the chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 6

Reduce heat to medium and add chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom.

Step 7

Stir in the butter until melted to create a simple pan sauce.

Step 8

Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over them.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reads 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 3 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with the pan sauce drizzled on top.
