Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick) Choose quality pork for juiciness.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For searing the pork.
  • 1 medium onion, sliced Add sweetness when sautéed.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced For added flavor.
  • 1 cup chicken broth Use low-sodium if desired.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with half-and-half.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce For depth of flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or fresh thyme, chopped For seasoning.
Optional Garnish
  • to taste fresh parsley For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season both sides of the boneless pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the chops to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  3. Add sliced onions to the same skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Add the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Stir to combine.
  5. Return the seared pork chops to the skillet. Spoon some sauce over them and let simmer for about 10 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
  6. Serve the pork chops with the creamy sauce spooned over, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave with a splash of chicken broth to maintain moisture. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
