Ingredients

Scale

For the Pork Chops

- 4 boneless pork chops
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Sauce

¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon flour
½ teaspoon lemon juice
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.
