Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (about 6 oz each) boneless pork chops, 1 inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter melts and foams.
  3. Place the seasoned pork chops in the hot skillet. Sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 145°F). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth simmer for 1 minute.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
  8. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts down, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  9. Return the cooked pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the creamy garlic spinach sauce over the chops. Heat through for 1 minute.
  10. Serve the pork chops immediately with the sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms when you sauté the garlic.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the cream simmer uncovered for an extra minute or two before adding the cheese.
  • This dish pairs well with rice or pasta to soak up the extra sauce.
