Ingredients
  

For the Pork Chops
  • 4 bone-in pork chops pork chops about 1-inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes oil-packed, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops. Let them simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Serve these pork chops with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, pasta, or a simple green salad.
