Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 2

Dredge each pork chop lightly in flour, shaking off the excess. This helps create a nice crust when seared.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops to the skillet in a single layer.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and pick up any browned bits (this adds extra flavor!). Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, and fresh parsley. Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them.

Step 8

Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the pork chops hot with the garlic butter sauce drizzled on top. Pair with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
