Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops (1-1.5 inches thick)
• 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 cup baby potatoes, halved (optional)
• 1 cup green beans or asparagus (optional)
• 1 cup chicken broth or white wine
• Juice of half a lemon

Instructions

1. Preheat the skillet:
Place the Platinum Jumbo Gourmet Skillet on medium heat for 2-3 minutes to evenly preheat.

2. Season the pork chops:
Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and half of the chopped rosemary and thyme.

3. Sear the pork chops:

• Add olive oil to the skillet. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
• Remove the pork chops and set aside on a plate.

4. Cook optional vegetables (if using):

• Add the baby potatoes to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden.
• Add the green beans or asparagus and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove and set aside with the pork chops.

5. Make the garlic herb sauce:

• Lower the heat to medium-low and add butter to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Pour in the chicken broth or white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the lemon juice and remaining herbs.

6. Finish the dish:

• Return the pork chops to the skillet, along with the potatoes and green beans (if using).
• Cover the skillet with its lid and cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

7. Serve:
Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Plate them with the vegetables and spoon the garlic herb sauce over the top.
