Recipe View 10 mins Carefully place the seasoned pork chops into the hot skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Sear the chops for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until they develop a rich, golden-brown crust. This step is crucial for flavor development. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 45 mins Cover the skillet tightly with a lid. Allow the pork chops to simmer gently in the broth for 45 minutes, or until they are cooked through and incredibly tender. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). (45 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more succulent chop. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a minced clove of garlic to the skillet along with the butter.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the pork chops from the skillet after simmering and whisk in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) to the simmering broth. Cook until thickened.
Serve these sage pork chops with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted root vegetables, or a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Ensure your skillet is large enough to accommodate all the pork chops without overcrowding. Overcrowding can lower the skillet temperature and prevent proper searing.

    I added a splash of dry white wine to the broth for a bit more depth, and it was fantastic! Definitely a keeper.

  • Abagail Beier

    This recipe is a lifesaver! So easy, and the pork chops were incredibly tender and flavorful. My family loved it!

  • Mose Mertz

    I used bone-less pork chops because that's what I had on hand, and they still turned out great, though I reduced the simmering time a bit.

  • Carlee Okon

    The searing step is key! Don't skip it. It really makes a difference in the final flavor.
