These garlic butter bone-in pork chops are insanely good. Mouthwatering, buttery, rich, and packed with bold, savory flavors. THEY’RE DANGEROUSLY GOOD. Okay, I’m done yelling. But seriously, this is the kind of one-pan meal that feels fancy but takes minimal effort.
Perfectly seared pork chops get bathed in a garlicky, buttery sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, a splash of white wine, and a hint of balsamic for depth. The result? A ridiculously flavorful dish that pairs with anything—rice, potatoes, or straight out of the skillet (no judgment).
If you’re looking for a new quick and delicious dinner, this 30-minute recipe needs to be on your list.
Quick Tips
• Pat the chops really dry so they actually sear and do not steam
• If they are thick, let them sit at room temp for ten minutes so they cook more evenly
• Broiling works great if you want a crisp outside without overcooking the inside
• Swap white wine for chicken broth if you want something milder or do not feel like opening a bottle
• Add a splash of cream at the end if you want the sauce richer and smoother
• Throw in a handful of spinach with the sun dried tomatoes if you want a little green in the pan
• Taste the sauce before salting since sun dried tomatoes already bring a salty kick
• Serve it over rice, potatoes, cauliflower mash, or straight from the skillet if the day has been long

Ingredients
Instructions
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside. (Side note: Sometimes I opt-in for broiling them instead on high for 3-4 minutes per side. You choose! But, for some reason, whenever I broil them, I can get them more crispy on the outside without overcooking them on the inside - that’s just me!).
- Reduce heat to medium, add butter, and let it melt. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes and red pepper flakes, stirring for 1 minute.
- Pour in white wine, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Stir in balsamic vinegar, let the butter sauce come to a boil, then simmer for 2 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Return pork chops to the pan, spoon sauce over them, and cover. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Garnish with parsley and serve over white rice, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
