Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2 bone-in pork chops
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Thoroughly blot pork chops with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crisp exterior during cooking.
- Create a robust seasoning blend by combining salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Massage the spice mixture comprehensively across both surfaces of the pork chops, guaranteeing even flavor distribution.
- Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers and appears slightly rippled.
- Carefully place seasoned pork chops into the hot skillet, searing for 3-4 minutes per side until a rich golden-brown crust develops.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and introduce butter, Worcestershire sauce, and chicken broth to create a savory cooking liquid.
- Cover the skillet and allow pork chops to gently simmer for 5-7 minutes, monitoring internal temperature until it reaches 145°F for perfect doneness.
- Remove skillet from heat, allowing pork chops to rest for 5 minutes to redistribute internal juices and maintain maximum tenderness before serving.
Notes
- Ensure pork chops are completely dry before seasoning to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust that seals in delicious flavors.
- Customize the spice blend by adjusting cayenne pepper for heat lovers or reducing it for those who prefer milder seasonings.
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee precise doneness, preventing overcooking and maintaining juicy, tender pork chops.
- Opt for bone-in pork chops for extra flavor and moisture, which naturally enhance the overall taste of the dish.
