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.
