Print Recipe

Juicy pork chops are seared and baked with crispy roasted potatoes, all smothered in a rich, creamy garlic parmesan sauce. This easy one-pan dinner is perfect for busy weeknights but impressive enough for guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1-inch thick, 1.5 lbs total)
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved (Yukon Gold or red potatoes preferred)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 1 tsp black pepper, divided
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove to a plate.
  4. If skillet is large enough, push potatoes into a single layer in the pan (add more oil if needed). Otherwise, arrange potatoes on a baking sheet. Roast in oven for 10 minutes while making the sauce.
  5. Reduce skillet heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tbsp butter. Sauté garlic for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  6. Stir in heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, then turn off heat. Whisk in grated parmesan until smooth and creamy.
  7. Nestle seared pork chops back into skillet with potatoes. Spoon sauce over everything. Transfer skillet to oven (or use a baking dish, cover with foil). Bake for 18-22 minutes, until pork reaches 145°F internally and potatoes are fork-tender.
  8. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra parmesan. Let pork chops rest for a couple minutes before serving. Stir sauce before spooning over the finished dish.

Notes

For best results, use freshly grated parmesan and avoid boiling the cream sauce. Bone-in pork chops stay juicier but boneless work well too. Swap potatoes for cauliflower or sweet potatoes for a twist. The sauce thickens as it cools; add a splash of broth to loosen if needed. This recipe is naturally gluten-free—just check your broth and cheese labels.
