Smothered Boneless Pork Chops Recipe
Smothered Boneless Pork Chops: tender chops in creamy, garlicky sauce. Rich, savory comfort food for family dinner or treat.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter divided
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon flour
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
- Cook the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Add the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the flour, garlic powder, and lemon juice.
- Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring the sauce to a simmer, allowing it to thicken for 2-3 minutes.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Let them cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked and the sauce is thickened.
- Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth for a slightly different flavor.
- Adjust the garlic powder and lemon juice to suit your taste.
- If the sauce gets too thick, add a bit more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
