Instructions
- First, season those pork chops! Rub the chops with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Make sure they are nice and coated—think of it as a spa day for your chops!
- In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, carefully add your seasoned pork chops to the pan. Sizzle, baby, sizzle!
- Cook the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on one side until they’re golden brown. Flip them and cook for another 4-5 minutes. This is when the delicious aroma starts filling your kitchen. You might want to invite the neighbors over!
- Pour in the chicken broth and let it bubble for a minute. This helps keep the chops moist and adds an incredible depth of flavor.
- Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, basting the pork chops with the buttery goodness. This is the moment you realize you’re a culinary wizard.
- Cook for an additional 2-4 minutes until the chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F. You can use a meat thermometer if you want to get all scientific!
- Once cooked, remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. This is crucial—just like letting your biscuit dough relax before baking!
- Plate those beauties, garnish with fresh herbs if you feel fancy, and serve hot.
Enjoy your delectable skillet pork chops! With a meal this good, you’ll be the star of the dinner table. Plus, it only took you 30 minutes—now that’s what I call a win-win!
