Ingredients

4 pork chops thick-cut

Pork chop seasoning

1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste

Creamy Garlic Sauce

1 bulb garlic medium sized & roughly chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Season the pork chops on both sides with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a little oil in a cast iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops on both sides until deeply golden, then remove them from the skillet before they are fully cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped garlic and cook until lightly golden.
Stir in the flour and cook for about 1–2 minutes.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir until smooth.
Reduce the heat to low-medium, return the pork chops to the skillet, and cover.
Cook for about 10 minutes, or longer if needed, until the centers of the pork chops reach 145°F.
Taste the sauce and adjust the salt and black pepper as needed.
Let the pork chops rest for about 5 minutes before serving with the creamy garlic sauce.

Notes

Use pork chops around 1 inch thick so they can develop a deep sear and still finish cooking gently in the sauce without drying out.

The sauce should be creamy with some viscosity, but not as thick as a gravy.
