Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 cup chicken or vegetable broth
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels on both sides to ensure a good sear.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, 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 until it shimmers.
Step 5
Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the skillet, letting it melt.
Step 7
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and quickly scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits (this adds flavor).
Step 8
Simmer the chops in the broth for 2-3 minutes to infuse them with extra flavor and keep them juicy.
Step 9
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Optionally, spoon a bit of the pan sauce over the pork chops for extra flavor.
