March 2, 2024 • 0 comments
Creamy garlic pork chops made an appearance on our dinner plate and it didn't let us down. There are a few staples that we always have in our pantry and fridge and garlic is one of them. Garlic powder or minced garlic we put it on everything and it was a highlight in this dinner option.
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- Servings: 4
Ingredients
- (2 Packages) Bone-in Pork Chops
- (To taste) Salt and Pepper
- (1 TBS) Olive Oil
- (2 TBS) Butter
- (1 Whole Head Peeled) Garlic
- (1 TBS) Flour
- (1/2 Cup) Chicken Broth
- (1/2 TSP) Lemon Juice
- (1/4 TSP) Garlic Powder
- (3/4 Cup) Heavy Whipping Cream
Directions
- Take the pork chops out of the fridge 15-30 minutes before starting the recipe if possible. Season the pork generously with salt & pepper on both sides.
- In a deep skillet, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes, and once it's hot, cook the pork chops for 3-5 minutes/side or until golden. Once the pork chops are done searing, transfer them to a plate
- Add the remaining butter and the garlic cloves to the skillet. Turn the heat down to medium (or medium-low if using cast iron). Cook it, stirring fairly often, for about 3 minutes or until the garlic has somewhat browned on the outside.
- Push the garlic to one side of the pan and sprinkle the flour in (avoiding the garlic). Let it cook for around 30 seconds, and stir it so it's incorporated with the butter.
- Add in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir and let it cook for about a minute or until the sauce is noticeably thickened.
- Add in the garlic powder and cream. Stir or whisk it until the garlic powder has dissolved.
- Add the pork back in and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened up a bit (let the sauce bubble a bit but not furiously boil) and the pork chops are fully cooked through (145F minimum). Enjoy!
