Instructions
Take the pork chops out of the fridge 15-30 minutes prior to starting the recipe if possible. Season the pork generously with salt & pepper on both sides.
In a deep skillet, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes, and once it's hot, cook the pork chops for 3-5 minutes/side or until golden. Once done, transfer them to a plate.
Add the remaining butter and the garlic cloves to the skillet. Cook it, stirring fairly often, for about 3 minutes or until the garlic has somewhat browned on the outside.
Push the garlic to one side of the pan and sprinkle the flour in, avoiding the garlic. Let it cook for around 30 seconds, and stir to combine.
Add in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir and let it cook for about a minute or until the sauce thickens.
Add in the garlic powder and cream. Stir until the garlic powder has dissolved.
Add the pork back in and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the pork is fully cooked through (145F minimum). Season with extra salt & pepper as needed and garnish with parsley if desired.
