I really, really wanted to call these Thyme Pork Chops an easy 30-minute meal. But I would be lying. It ended up taking me 32 minutes. haha. And I value honesty. So here is amazing, elegant, but easy to make 32-minute meal.

I suggest fresh thyme for this recipe, but you can substitute dried. Just remember to ratio of fresh:dried is 3:1. So only use 1/3 the amount called for if you’re using dried thyme.

I make my own homemade chicken broth and homemade cajun seasoning. But you can use store-bought for both if you desire. I highly recommend at least making your own cajun seasoning, though. You would be amazed at the difference!

Keyword pork, pork chops, thyme
Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 32 minutes
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1/2 C. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. cajun seasoning
  • 1 & 1/2 tsp. thyme fresh, divided
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter divided
  • 1/4 C. chicken broth
  • 1/4 C. lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 C. heavy cream

Instructions

  • Mise en place (always!). In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cajun seasoning, 1 tsp. of thyme, garlic salt, and onion powder. Dredge pork chops through flour mixture, coating thoroughly.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. of butter in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Once hot, place pork chops into skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until browned. Only move pork as much as needed to prevent over-browning. 
  • Add 1 Tbsp. of butter, swirl around. Flip pork chops. Cook the other side 4-5 minutes, until browned. Remove pork from skillet. 
  • Add broth, lemon juice, garlic, and remaining 1/2 tsp. of thyme. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. 
  • Add pork back into pan. Simmer on medium-low (or low) for 15-20 minutes, until pork is cooked through. 
  • Remove cooked pork chops from pan. Plate on plate and cover to keep warm. 
  • Add last tablespoon of butter and heavy cream to pan. Simmer on medium for 3-5 minutes, until sauce thickened to desired consistency. 
  • Serve pork with sauce drizzled over.
