Description
Pork Chops in Creamy Garlic Sauce is a flavorful, easy-to-make dish that combines tender pork chops with a rich, creamy garlic sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Season the pork chops: Sprinkle the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
2. Sear the chops: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 4–5 minutes per side until they’re golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Make the sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, cooking until the sauce thickens.
4. Return the pork chops: Place the pork chops back into the skillet and spoon the creamy garlic sauce over them. Simmer on low heat for 5–7 minutes, or until the chops are cooked through.
5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the pork chops and serve the dish warm, accompanied by mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetables.
Notes
Choose bone-in or boneless pork chops that are about 1-inch thick for even cooking.
Searing helps lock in juices; avoid overcooking to prevent toughness.
Letting the chops rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking enhances tenderness.
