Ingredients
  

4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

Marinate the Pork: In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork chops and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).

    Sear the Pork Chops: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork chops and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust and are cooked through (145°F internal temperature). You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

      Make the Garlic Sauce: Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, covering them loosely with foil to keep warm. In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the broth to simmer for about 3 minutes.

        Add Butter and Herbs: Lower the heat and add the unsalted butter, chopped parsley, and lemon zest to the skillet, stirring until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined.

          Serve: Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the garlic herb butter sauce over them, ensuring they are nicely coated. Allow them to heat together for another minute.

            Plate the Dish: Serve the pork chops hot, drizzled with any remaining garlic sauce from the skillet.
