Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Method

  1. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring the herbs and garlic around the pork chops.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and continue to cook until the pork chops are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), about 5-7 minutes more. Spoon the broth over the chops occasionally.
  5. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
