Cook tender pork chops and a rich, creamy garlic sauce all in one skillet for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 6 oz each)
  • 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 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 145°F). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth simmer for 1 minute.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
  7. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and stir until it wilts, about 1 minute.
  8. Return the cooked pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chops.
  9. Add the butter to the sauce and stir until it melts, adding richness to the finish. Serve immediately directly from the pan.

Notes

  • For thicker chops, you may need to cook them slightly longer or finish them in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes after searing.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the sauce.
  • Stir the Parmesan cheese in off the heat or over very low heat to prevent it from becoming grainy.
