Creamy Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Season the Pork Chops:
   • Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the Pork Chops:
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until they are soft and fragrant.
4. Deglaze the Pan:
   • Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits (this adds flavor to the sauce).
5. Add Cream and Spices:
   • Stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and paprika. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Return Pork Chops to the Pan:
   • Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
7. Simmer:
   • Let the pork chops simmer in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender. Make sure to turn them occasionally to coat them with the sauce.
8. Finish and Serve:
   • Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the pork chops and sauce. Let it melt and blend into the sauce.
   • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
9. Serve:
   • Serve the creamy pork chops hot, spooning extra sauce over the top if desired. They go well with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.

Enjoy your creamy pork chops!
