Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons shallot minced
- 4 bone-in chops, approximately 1/2” thick
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- ¾ cup chicken broth, preferably organic
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
Optional Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
Equipment
- Large Skillet or cast iron skillet
- Cutting board and knife
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-duty skillet over medium high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallot softens and develops a bit of color, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle the bone in pork chops with the garlic powder, and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Add the chops to the hot skillet and brown on both sides of the pork, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the pork chops from skillet to a platter and set aside. Add chicken stock and gently scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet with a spatula. Return the chops to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium low. Cover and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes or until chops are cooked through.
- Transfer chops to a serving plate and cover to keep warm. While the chops rest, add the butter to the skillet and whisk to combine with the pan sauce. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens slightly, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. To serve, spoon some of the pan sauce over the pork chops and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using. Pair with your choice of sides and serve immediately. Enjoy!
