Cook tender pork chops and a rich, creamy garlic sauce all in one skillet for a fast weeknight dinner with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in or boneless 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 milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth simmer and reduce slightly for 1 minute.
  6. Stir in the milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  7. Whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes creamy.
  8. Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
  9. Add the tablespoon of butter to 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.
  10. Remove the skillet from the heat. Spoon the sauce over the chops. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the simmering broth before adding the milk.
  • If your chops are very thin, reduce the simmering time in step 8 to prevent overcooking.
  • You can add sliced mushrooms or spinach to the pan after removing the chops in step 4 for a complete one-pan meal.
