INGREDIENTS
4 pork chops 
Pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter divided
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning (I used Hidden Valley)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional but recommended)

 

INSTRUCTIONS
Take the pork chops out of the fridge 15-30 minutes prior to starting the recipe if you can. Season each pork chop with pepper and the garlic powder.


Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes.


Add the pork to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes/side until golden (3 minutes for thinner chops and 5 minutes for pork chops that are up to 1" thick). Transfer the pork to a plate and set aside.


Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining butter to the skillet, and once it's melted, stir in the flour and cook for about a minute.


Slowly whisk in the broth until the flour has been incorporated/dissolved.


Whisk in the ranch seasoning.


Add the pork back to the pan (along with any juices on the plate) and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the pork is cooked through (145F minimum) and the sauce has thickened up a bit more.


Sprinkle with fresh parsley if using, and serve immediately. This recipe is fairly salty, so you probably won't need to add any extra salt.
