Ingredients

  • 4 Boneless Pork Chops
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian Seasonings
  • 1 cup Flour for dredging
  • 1 tbsp Seasoning Salt
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream grated
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice

Instructions

  • Remove pork chops from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  • Season the chops on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasonings.
  • On a plate, combine the flour and seasoning salt and lightly dredge the seasoned pork chops, shaking off any excess.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the olive oil, enough to coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. You may need to cook in batches.
  • Cook the chops for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, until they develop a good sear and turn golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.
  • Use an instant-read or digital thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They should reach 145°F (63°C) for a juicy chop
  • Remove the cooked chops from the pan and let them rest on a plate, tented with foil, for about 5 minutes.
  • In the same pan, lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Stir to combine, deglaze the pot, and let it simmer for a couple of minutes to thicken.
  • Return the pork chops to the pan, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
