Garlic butter pork chops are a great way to add flavor and moisture to your meal. The garlic butter adds a rich, savory flavor to the pork chops that pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness of the pork. The butter also helps to keep the pork chops moist and juicy, ensuring that they remain tender and flavorful. The addition of garlic and herbs to the butter adds an extra layer of flavor to the dish, making it even more delicious.
When preparing garlic butter pork chops, it is important to use high-quality pork chops. Look for pork chops that are thick and juicy with a nice marbling of fat. This will ensure that the pork chops remain tender and juicy when cooked. You can also opt for bone-in pork chops, which will add even more flavor to the dish.
Once you have your pork chops, you will need to prepare the garlic butter. Start by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and herbs of your choice. Cook the garlic and herbs for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and lightly browned. Once the garlic butter is ready, remove it from the heat and set aside.
Next, season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until the pork chops are golden brown and cooked through. Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
To finish the dish, add the garlic butter to the skillet and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Once the garlic butter is hot and bubbly, add the pork chops back to the skillet and spoon the garlic butter over the top of the pork chops. Cook for a few minutes more, or until the pork chops are heated through. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides and enjoy!
