Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
- While the pork chops are cooking, in a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to let it burn!
- Once the pork chops are browned, pour the garlic butter over them and sprinkle the smoked paprika and parsley on top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Once done, let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This is the hardest part, but it’s worth the wait!
