This recipe is all about simplicity and flavor. Juicy pork chops seared to perfection, accompanied by a delightful blend of seasoning. It’s a perfect dish that pairs well with your favorite sides.

Ingredients

For this delectable skillet pork chop recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

4 bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Skillet Pork Chops:

Begin by seasoning the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, carefully place the pork chops in the skillet. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they have a nice golden-brown crust.
Once the pork chops are browned, add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and paprika to the skillet. Stir gently to combine the spices with the oil.
Pour in the chicken broth, allowing it to deglaze the skillet. This will add flavor and help in cooking the pork chops evenly.
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let the pork chops simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
After cooking, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. While they rest, add the butter to the skillet, stirring until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet to coat them with the buttery sauce. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.

Enjoy your beautifully cooked Skillet Pork Chops with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. This dish is sure to become a family favorite!
