Cooking the Garlic Ranch Pork Chops
-
Prep the Pork Chops
Season the pork chops with ranch seasoning mix and minced garlic, ensuring they are evenly coated.For a stronger garlic flavor, you can marinate the pork chops in the garlic for a few hours before cooking. -
Sear the Pork Chops
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. -
Add Broth and Simmer
Pour chicken broth into the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the pork chops are cooked through.
Finishing Touches

Thicken the Sauce
Remove the pork chops from the skillet. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens. -
Serve
Place the pork chops back into the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chops. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Note
- For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
- Customize the seasoning by adding smoked paprika or chili powder for a kick.
- Make sure to let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a little cornstarch with water and add it to the skillet.
- Feel free to substitute pork chops with chicken breasts or thighs for a different twist.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to prevent drying out.
