Creamy Garlic Pork Chops (Print-Friendly Version)
Juicy pork chops in a creamy, garlicky Parmesan sauce; simple comfort food ready in just 30 minutes.
# Ingredients List:
01 -
4 boneless pork chops, approximately 2.5 cm thick
02 -
1 teaspoon fine salt
03 -
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
04 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
05 -
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 -
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
07 -
240 ml heavy cream
08 -
120 ml chicken broth
09 -
50 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
10 -
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
# How to Make It:
01 -
Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 4 to 5 minutes per side until deeply golden and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
03 -
Reduce the heat to medium. Melt butter in the same skillet and sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute, ensuring it does not brown.
04 -
Add chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any caramelized bits from the pan base.
05 -
Stir in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Simmer the sauce for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
06 -
Add the seared pork chops back to the skillet and spoon sauce over each. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes to reheat and infuse flavors.
07 -
Transfer pork chops to serving plates. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately with chosen accompaniments.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Bone-in pork chops can be used, but extend the cooking time as necessary.
02 -
If the sauce thickens excessively, incorporate a small amount of chicken broth to achieve desired consistency.
03 -
Pairs well with mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
04 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
