Get ready to indulge in these creamy, savory smothered pork chops that are bursting with flavor! Perfect for dinner any night of the week! 😋🍽️✨
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (500g) bone-in pork chops (about 3/4-1 inch thick)
- 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Directions:
1. First things first, season those pork chops! Dust them generously with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides to pack in the flavor.
2. Now, let’s get crispy! Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is sizzling hot, add in the pork chops. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they're beautifully golden brown.
3. After they’ve reached that yummy brown color, carefully remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside. In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth, making sure to scrape up all the delicious browned bits stuck to the bottom—this is where the flavor lives! Bring it to a simmer.
4. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, blending it all together into a creamy goodness.
5. Time to bring the pork chops back! Nestle them back into the skillet, cover it up, and let them simmer for approximately 10-12 minutes. We want the pork to be cooked through and hit that perfect internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
6. If you’d like, finish it off with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for that visual pop before serving. Now sit back, dig in, and savor these succulent smothered pork chops! Enjoy!
