- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the pork chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon. Let the broth simmer for 1 minute.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Taste the sauce and add more salt or pepper if needed.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
- Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving directly from the pan.
Notes
- For thicker pork chops, you may need to finish them in a 375 degree Fahrenheit oven after searing to reach the correct internal temperature.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the sauce.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the chops back in.
