Juicy Skillet Pork Chops Recipe

I’ve been on a pork roll lately! So many yummy pork-filled recipes added to the blog and many more to come. I mentioned in a previous post about how I didn’t eat much pork growing up. So, once I started cooking for myself, I discovered all the awesome things you can make with it. And pork chops are at the top of that list! This Juicy Skillet Pork Chops Recipe has become one of my favorite ways to make pork chops.

PREPARING THE PORK CHOPS

This recipe is for six big, juicy pork chops that are about five ounces each. I like to sprinkle each pork chop with a simple mixture of salt and pepper to begin with. And then let them sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. Letting the pork chops come to room temperature allows them to cook more evenly all around. And the salt and pepper will soak through the meat in that time as well. Right before cooking the pork chops, you’ll dip them into a seasoned floury mixture that consists of chicken bouillon, paprika, garlic powder and flour.

COOKING THE PORK CHOPS

I love cooking pork chops in a skillet because it’s quick, easy, and gives them a nice golden-brown layer. The seasoned flour mixture helps with the extra color, crispness and flavor. After heating the oil in the skillet, you’ll add the pork chops side by side and cook for about 3 minutes until brown on one side. You’ll then flip the pork chops, cover the skillet with a lid and continue heating until they’re completely cooked through. It should take no longer than 12-15 minutes. Don’t overcook to ensure the pork chops remain juicy!

MAKING THE SKILLET SAUCE

The best part about this recipe is the amazing, savory skillet sauce! It’s full of chicken broth, butter, vinegar, cornstarch, honey and the leftover pork chop juices! You’ll simply bring the ingredients to a bubbling simmer, stirring continuously. You’ll end up with a thickened, flavorful sauce that will complement the pork chops perfectly! Once the sauce is made, add the pork chops back into the skillet and make sure they’re drenched well for that extra juicy flavor!

JUICY SKILLET PORK CHOPS

These juicy skillet pork chops go amazing paired with…..you guessed it…. mashed potatoes! The skillet sauce has almost a gravy like consistency that would be perfect on mashers. So, in my opinion, they’re a must with this recipe! If your mouth is watering looking at these juicy pictures, just wait until you actually get a taste!
