Ingredients

Pork Chops

4 bone in pork chops about ¾-1 inch thick
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil or any neutral tasting oil

Creamy Garlic Sauce

2 tablespoons butter
5 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ cup chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon salt
pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley minced

Instructions

For the pork chops: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, and paprika. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season on both sides with the spice mix.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the oil, then sear the pork chops for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
For the sauce: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to make a roux.
Slowly whisk in the chicken stock and heavy cream until smooth. Stir in the parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste. I used about ¼ teaspoon of salt, but the amount may vary depending on the salt content in the stock you use. Let simmer gently until slightly thickened.
Once the sauce is fully combined and creamy, put on low heat and place the pork chops back in the skillet. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes to warm the pork chops through. Fully Coat with the sauce. Garnish with parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

Bone in pork chops stay juicier, but boneless can be substituted with reduced cooking time.
Add sliced mushrooms and/or spinach for additional flavor.
Pork chops are fully cooked when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
