Recipe Steps

3. Remove chops and deglaze pan with chicken broth.

What to Serve It With
Tips & Mistakes
– Don’t rush the browning. Patience is key, unless charred pork is your thing.
– Taste the sauce, if it feels like something’s missing, it’s probably salt. Or ranch. Probably ranch.
Storage Tips
Got leftovers? Lucky you. Toss them in an airtight container and plop it in the fridge. Cold pork chops for breakfast? No judgment here, friend. Just don’t microwave them to death.
Variations and Substitutions
Sub chicken for pork if you’re feeling rebellious. Swap parsley for cilantro if it’s a “use whatever the garden didn’t kill” kinda night. And, hey, ever tried coconut cream instead of regular? It’s wild.
