Creamy Garlic Pork Chops & Asparagus

How to make it

1. 1

   Pat your pork chops dry with a paper towel and season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of your favorite cooking oil. Once hot, carefully place the pork chops in the skillet.

3. 3

   Sear the pork chops for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until they have a beautiful golden crust and are cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until it smells wonderfully fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.

5. 5

   Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

6. 6

   Add the trimmed asparagus to the skillet with the sauce. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus turns bright green and is tender-crisp.

7. 7

   Return the cooked pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Spoon some of that delicious sauce over the chops. Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting meal!
