Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1/2 tsp dried)

Method
 

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
  3. Rub both sides of the pork chops with the olive oil, then coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the pork chops in the pan.
  5. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. As the butter melts, spoon it over the pork chops for about 1 minute to coat them in the garlic butter.
  7. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Tips

  • Let the pork chops rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps keep them juicy.
  • If your pork chops are thinner than 1 inch, reduce the cooking time by a minute or two per side.
  • An instant-read thermometer is the easiest way to make sure they don’t overcook.

Optional Garlic Parmesan Pan Sauce

Want to make these extra special? After removing the pork chops from the skillet:
  • Leave the butter and garlic in the pan.
  • Add ½ cup chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits.
  • Simmer for about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in ¼ cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Simmer another 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Spoon over the pork chops and mashed potatoes. It’s rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious.
