Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops (Printer-Friendly)

Tender pork chops cooked slowly in a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce that’s full of flavor and easy to prepare.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Pork

01 - 4 thick boneless pork chops
02 - Salt, to taste
03 - Black pepper, to taste
04 - 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
05 - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

→ Sauce

06 - 3 tablespoons salted butter
07 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
08 - 1 cup heavy cream
09 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
10 - 1/2 cup chicken broth
11 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
12 - 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
13 - 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and flour. Rub evenly over each chop.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Sear two pork chops for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and easily releases from the pan. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining chops, adding 1 tablespoon butter as needed.
03 - Reduce heat to low and melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
04 - Whisk in heavy cream, cream cheese, chicken broth, onion powder, and 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
05 - Gradually add Parmesan cheese in 1/4 cup increments, whisking until fully melted and sauce is creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
06 - Coat the bottom of a 5-6 quart slow cooker with nonstick spray. Arrange pork chops flat in the cooker, slightly overlapping if necessary. Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chops.
07 - Cover and cook on high for 1.5 to 2 hours or on low for 3 to 4 hours. Pork chops are done when internal temperature reaches 145°F.
08 - Serve pork chops with sauce alongside roasted potatoes and steamed green beans or preferred sides.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Use thick pork chops or bone-in for best moisture retention; thinner cuts may dry out.
02 - For stovetop method, sear chops fully, set aside, prepare sauce, then combine and simmer until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
