Instructions
Skillet Pork Chops
- In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper and cajun seasoning. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and rub all over with seasoning.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt butter and olive oil. Place pork chops in the skillet, pressing down gently to sear. Cook for 5-6 minutes, without moving the chops. Flip over and sear the other side. Cook until golden. Internal temperature should register at least 140 degrees F on a digital meat thermometer. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Gravy
- To the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons butter. Melt, scraping up any pan dripping and browned bits on the bottom of the skillet as you go. Add flour and whisk together, cooking until golden; about 2 minutes.
- Add to the skillet chicken broth, garlic, heavy cream and 3 tablespoons of butter. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and continue to simmer for a few minutes or until thickened.
- Nestle pork chops in the pan with the gravy and simmer for a minute to warm up the chops if needed. Serve porks chops with gravy and garnish with fresh minced parsley.
