Ingredients
Scale
Pork Chops
- 4 pork chops
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Cream Sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Season Pork Chops: Start by seasoning the pork chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
- Brown Pork Chops: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and brown them for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare Garlic Cream Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the same skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine and scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to enrich the sauce.
- Simmer Pork Chops: Return the pork chops to the skillet with the cream sauce. Lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, occasionally spooning sauce over the chops, until they are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency.
Notes
- Use bone-in pork chops for more flavor if desired.
- Adjust garlic quantity to your taste preferences.
- For a thicker sauce, simmer longer or add a slurry of cornstarch and water.
- Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
