Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, salt, and pepper, and saute 1 to 2 minutes. Add pork chops, and saute 8 to 10 minutes per side, until brown on both sides and cooked through. Remove to a serving plate.

2. Whisk heavy cream and basil into pan drippings 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat, until sauce thickens slightly. Pour sauce over cooked chops and serve immediately.


NOTE: We recommend serving these scrumptious pork chops with smashed potatoes so you can enjoy every last drop of the delicious, creamy sauce.
