Creamy Garlic Pork Chops image

These creamy garlic pork chops are smothered in a garlic cream sauce with whole garlic cloves! This recipe is quick and easy to make in about 30 minutes.

Provided by Natasha Bull

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pork chops (see notes)
Salt & pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter (divided)
1 whole head garlic (cloves peeled)
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup chicken broth or stock
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream
Fresh parsley (chopped (optional, to taste))

Steps:

  • Take the pork chops out of the fridge 15-30 minutes prior to starting the recipe if possible. Season the pork generously with salt & pepper on both sides.
  • In a deep skillet, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes, and once it's hot, cook the pork chops for 3-5 minutes/side or until golden (3 minutes for thinner chops and 5 minutes for pork chops up to 1" thick). Once the pork chops are done searing, transfer them to a plate.
  • Add the remaining butter and the garlic cloves to the skillet. Turn the heat down to medium (or medium-low if using cast iron). Cook it, stirring fairly often, for about 3 minutes or until the garlic has somewhat browned on the outside.
  • Push the garlic to one side of the pan and sprinkle the flour in (avoiding the garlic). Let it cook for around 30 seconds, and give it a stir so it's incorporated with the butter (we're making a quick roux).
  • Add in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir and let it cook for about a minute or until the sauce is noticeably thickened.
  • Add in the cream and garlic powder. Stir or whisk it until the garlic powder has dissolved.
  • Add the pork back in and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened up a bit (let the sauce bubble a bit but not furiously boil) and the pork chops are fully cooked through (145F minimum). Keep in mind the pork's temperature will continue to rise once you stop cooking it, so if it's close, I'd take it off the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Season the sauce with extra salt & pepper as needed and parsley if you wish.

Tips:

  • Tenderize the pork chops: To ensure juicy and tender pork chops, use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy knife to pound them to an even thickness. This helps break down the fibers and allows the marinade to penetrate more deeply.
  • Use quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of the dish. Choose thick, center-cut pork chops and use a flavorful cream sauce made with fresh herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the pork chops, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming tough.
  • Cook the pork chops to the right temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the right temperature. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). For medium, cook to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). For well-done, cook to an internal temperature of 170°F (77°C).
  • Let the pork chops rest: After cooking, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

These Amazing Pork Chops in Cream Sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With tender pork chops, a flavorful cream sauce, and a crispy breadcrumb topping, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
