Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless pork chops (1-inch thick)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Sear the Pork Chops: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until beautifully browned.
- Add Garlic: Once the pork chops are golden brown, add minced garlic directly into the skillet. Stir constantly for about one minute until fragrant.
- Pour in Chicken Broth: Carefully pour chicken broth into the skillet around the pork chops to create a flavorful cooking liquid that keeps everything moist.
- Simmer with Herbs: Lower the heat and sprinkle fresh thyme or rosemary over the pork chops. Cover loosely and let simmer for about 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Rest Before Serving: Remove from heat and let the pork chops rest for five minutes before slicing.
- Serve It Up!: Transfer pork chops onto plates, drizzling pan juices over them. Pair with steamed veggies or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Keywords: For added flavor, consider swapping out thyme and rosemary with your favorite herbs like oregano or basil. Customize your dish by adding sautéed vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini during the simmering step. To maintain moisture when reheating leftovers, add a splash of chicken broth in a skillet over low heat.
