Ingredients

  • 2 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Crispy Pork Chop with Sauces

  1. Start by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them to coat. Cook for another minute to reheat the chops.
  6. Transfer the pork chops to serving plates, drizzle with the garlic and paprika sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding the pork chops for a perfect sear.
  • Let the pork chops rest after cooking to keep them juicy.
  • Adjust the garlic and paprika to your taste preference for a more personalized flavor.

Easy Variations

  • Replace chicken broth with white wine or vegetable broth for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a splash of cream to the sauce for a richer texture.
  • Incorporate sautéed spinach or kale into the sauce for added nutrition.

What to Serve With It

  • Creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting side.
  • Roasted vegetables like carrots or Brussels sprouts for a colorful plate.
  • A fresh salad with a tangy vinaigrette to balance the richness of the pork.
  • Rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious sauce.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. You can also microwave them, but be careful not to overcook, as this can make the pork dry.
