Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops (Printer-Friendly)

Tender pork chops bathed in a savory creamy garlic and Parmesan sauce, cooked low and slow.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Pork Chops

01 - 4 thick boneless pork chops
02 - 1 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, divided
05 - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

→ Sauce

06 - 3 tablespoons salted butter, divided
07 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
09 - 1 cup heavy cream
10 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
11 - 1 cup chicken broth
12 - 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

# Steps to Make This:

01 - Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and flour, rubbing evenly to coat.
02 - Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add two pork chops and sear without moving for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden and easily released from the pan. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining chops using another tablespoon of butter.
03 - Reduce heat to low. Add remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and cook minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream, cream cheese, chicken broth, onion powder, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Whisk and simmer for 10 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
04 - Lightly spray a 5-6 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange pork chops flat in the bottom, overlapping slightly if needed. Pour creamy sauce evenly over pork chops. Cover and cook on high for 1.5 to 2 hours or on low for 3 to 4 hours, until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
05 - Serve pork chops with preferred sides such as roasted potatoes and steamed green beans.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For stovetop preparation, sear pork chops thoroughly before making sauce, then simmer pork chops in sauce until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
02 - Use thick-cut pork chops to maintain moisture and tenderness.
03 - Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
