Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless pork chops Season generously with salt and pepper
  • ¾ cup heavy cream For a rich sauce
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter Divided
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic Adjust for garlic lovers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking pork chops
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon flour To thicken the sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
  3. Cook the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  5. Add the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  7. Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring the sauce to a simmer, allowing it to thicken for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Let them cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked and the sauce is thickened.
  9. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
