Create the Garlic Herb Butter Sauce
Baste and Serve
Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the butter sauce along with the garlic for a spicy kick.
After making the butter sauce, remove the chops and herbs, then whisk in 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Before making the sauce, sauté 8 oz of sliced cremini mushrooms and 1/2 sliced onion in the pan drippings until golden. Then proceed with the butter and garlic.
Pork is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, maintaining muscle mass, and supporting overall body function.
Pork chops provide significant amounts of B vitamins like thiamine, niacin, and B6. These vitamins are crucial for converting food into energy, supporting brain function, and forming red blood cells.
Garlic contains the compound allicin, which is known for its potential immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties, adding a healthy kick to the flavorful sauce.
Each serving of Garlic Herb Pork Chops contains approximately 450-500 calories, depending on the size and fat content of the pork chop. This estimate includes the pork, oil, and butter sauce.
This dish is a great source of protein and B vitamins. However, it is also high in saturated fat due to the butter and pork fat. It can be part of a balanced diet when eaten in moderation. For a healthier version, use less butter or choose a leaner cut of pork.
Yes, you can use boneless pork chops. They will cook faster, so reduce the searing time to about 3-4 minutes per side. It is especially important to use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking them, as they can dry out more easily than bone-in chops.
The safest and most accurate way is to use an instant-read meat thermometer. The USDA recommends cooking pork to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), followed by a 3-minute rest. This will result in a slightly pink, juicy, and perfectly safe-to-eat pork chop.
These pork chops pair wonderfully with a variety of sides. Classic choices include creamy mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus or broccoli, a simple green salad with vinaigrette, or garlic bread to soak up the extra pan sauce.
