Garlic Parmesan Pan Fried Pork Chops

Instructions

1. Let pork chops sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.

2. Combine grated cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, seasoning salt, and ground pepper in a small mixing bowl.

3. Pat dry pork chops with paper towels and season with prepared spice rub on all sides.

4. Heat olive oil and ½ tablespoon butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet that also comes with a lid.

5. Once oil is hot and butter just melted, add pork chops to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned on the bottom.

6. Flip over the pork chops; cook for 1 minute.

7. Reduce heat to low and cover the skillet. If you don’t have a lid, you can cover it with aluminum foil, but make sure to cover it well, tucking it in on all sides.

8. Cook for 9 to 12 minutes, or until an Instant Read Thermometer registers at 145˚F. Cooking time depends on the thickness and overall size of the pork chops. Start checking for doneness at around the 8 minute mark.

9. When done, remove pork from skillet and set aside.

10. Set the same skillet over medium-high heat and slowly pour in the chicken broth; start whisking and scraping the bottom of the pan to get all those browned bits.

11. Bring to a steady simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until sauce is reduced by half.

12. Whisk in honey.
