Creamy Garlic Pork Chops
Ingredients:
For the Pork Chops:
4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
For the Sauce:

1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
—
Instructions:
1. Season the Pork Chops:
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. Cook the Pork Chops:
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan cheese. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
4. Combine:
Return the pork chops to the skillet. Simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes, spooning the sauce over the pork chops, until they are cooked through.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve the pork chops with the creamy garlic sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
