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.

02 Step
Recipe View 3 mins Generously rub the spice mixture onto both sides of each pork chop, ensuring even coverage. (3 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View 2 mins In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron works beautifully) over medium-high heat, melt the unsalted butter. (2 minutes)
04 Step
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)
05 Step

07 Step
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)

Oct 21, 2021I 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.
