Juicy Pan-Seared Pork Chops

1Season the pork chops (4) with paprika (1 teaspoon), dried thyme (1 teaspoon), onion powder (½ teaspoon), garlic powder (½ teaspoon), and black pepper (½ teaspoon), ensuring both sides are well coated.

2Heat olive oil (2 tablespoons) in a skillet over medium-high heat.

3Add the seasoned pork chops (4) to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

4Remove the pork chops (4) from the skillet and set aside.

5In the same skillet, add minced garlic (2 cloves) and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

6Pour in chicken broth (½ cup) and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor.

7Stir in butter (2 tablespoons) until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.

8Return the pork chops (4) to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and absorb the flavors.

9Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

10Serve the juicy pan-seared pork chops (4) hot with your favorite sides.
