Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15 oz) can corn kernels (or 2 cups fresh/frozen corn)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Season the pork chops: Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Sear the pork chops: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the garlic butter sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the corn and cream: Stir in the corn kernels and cook for 3-4 minutes, until heated through. Pour in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
- Return the pork chops: Place the seared pork chops back into the skillet with the creamed corn, spooning some of the sauce over the chops. Let everything cook together for another 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the pork chops with a generous portion of the garlic butter creamed corn.
