Instructions

Step 1: Season 4 bone-in pork chops evenly with 1 tsp salt and 2 tsp freshly ground white pepper on both sides.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 145°F).
Step 3: Remove pork chops and keep warm. Reduce heat to medium and add 3 tbsp butter and 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/4 cup heavy cream, stirring continuously and scraping up browned bits. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and develops a creamy, speckled glaze.
Step 5: Return pork chops to the pan and spoon the white pepper glaze over them. Cook for an additional minute to meld flavors before serving.
