Description

A quick and delicious meal featuring juicy pork chops cooked in rich garlic butter, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork chops
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Place the pork chops in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F and have a golden crust.
  5. Remove from heat, let rest for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the pork chops marinate in the garlic and butter mixture for about 30 minutes before cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfectly cooked pork chops.
