This dish combines juicy, tender pork chops with a luscious creamy ranch sauce that’s irresistible. Whether for a weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend meal, it’s sure to impress your family or guests.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops (around 1-inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra richness)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pork Chops
- Pat the pork chops dry using paper towels. Dry chops sear better and retain juiciness.
- Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub the spices in gently.
Step 2: Sear the Pork Chops
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, place the pork chops in the skillet.
- Sear each side for 3–4 minutes, or until a golden-brown crust forms.
- Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside. Don’t worry if they aren’t fully cooked yet—they’ll finish cooking in the creamy sauce.
