Prepare the Pork Chops: Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Don’t skimp here; the seasoning enhances the flavor!
Sear the Pork Chops: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic—no one wants bitter garlic here!
Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping the lovely brown bits from the bottom of the skillet for an extra boost of flavor.
Incorporate Cream and Cheese: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Stir well until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth. It’s gonna smell divine!
Combine Pork Chops with Sauce: Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and let those flavors mingle beautifully.
Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve the pork chops with the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce over rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
