Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper together.
Step 3
Rub the pork chops evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture on all sides, coating thoroughly.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and olive oil.
Step 5
Once the butter has melted and begins to sizzle, add the pork chops to the skillet.
Step 6
Cook the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, covering loosely with foil to rest.
Step 8
Deglaze the skillet by adding chicken broth, stirring and scraping up any browned bits at the bottom of the pan.
Step 9
Let the broth simmer for 1-2 minutes until it slightly reduces to create a simple pan sauce.
Step 10
Pour the sauce over the rested pork chops and serve immediately.
