Browned Butter Garlic Pork Chops

We try to stay on the Mediterranean diet so we try to only have red meat once a week. I just put these Browned Butter Garlic Pork Chops together with some of our favorite ingredients. Sorta like our browned butter chicken filets. We really liked how it turned out and I’ll bet that you will too.

Here is what you will need for your Browned Butter Garlic Pork Chops

1 tbsp’ olive oil
3 tbsp. butter – devided
4 cloves garlic – chopped
salt and pepper to taste
2 pork chops
1 tbsp. chopped fresh basil leaves or 1/2 tbsp dried
1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth

**Browned Butter Garlic Pork Chops are a lot easier than it sounds. Here’s the how to**

First take the pork chops out of the fridge and let them warm up a little while you get the skillet going. Put the skillet on at medium and drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil. Then about two tablespoons of butter. Stir it up a little and when the butter has stopped bubbling and has turned brown salt and pepper the pork chops and lay them in the skillet. Chop up a few cloves of garlic and put the garlic in the skillet but off to the side. Scoot the garlic side of the skillet away from the burner a little so that it is getting less heat than the pork chops and lay a pad of butter on the garlic. Stir the garlic a few times as it cooks.

Give the pork chops about 2-3 minutes a side depending on the thickness. When you turn the chops over add the white wine (or chicken broth). I gave the garlic a little boost with some chopped fresh basil leaves. Dried will work just fine.

Let the pork chops finish cooking then serve them up. Spoon the garlic and the liquid from the skillet on to the pork chops and enjoy your Browned Butter Garlic Pork Chops. I multi tasked and “baked” sweet potatoes in the microwave and threw together some caprese salad.
