These pan-seared pork chops are the perfect example of simple ingredients done right. With a 4–5 minute sear on each side, the chops develop a golden, flavourful crust while staying juicy and tender inside. Aromatic garlic, herbs, and a touch of smoked paprika infuse the butter-basted pork with rich, herby depth. A splash of broth or wine and a hint of mustard finish the pan sauce, making it ideal over creamy mashed potatoes. This is weeknight comfort with steakhouse-level satisfaction—all done in under 30 minutes.
Today’s pan-fried pork chop highlights that we do not have to eat the old flip-flop! Hands up! Who is guilty of dried-out pork chop cooked in a pan or oven?

Right. That’s my dinner sorted for tomorrow. Another one saved. And another great recipe. Thank you Rik. 💕
Mouth watering Rik!!! Watching from Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨🐊😊
I sear my chops in a hot pan for good colour also cooking edges so fat is rendered and crispy. To finish cooking pop into the microwave on medium for a few mins checking with a thermometer and when temp says 160F take out and rest. You'll find they'll come up to 165F the safe temperature after resting in foil. Moist and flavoursome
S'mee again Rik. We thought pork chops were just the job for month-end so we bought 4 and seasoned them up with thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in roughly the quantities you showed. Both the rosemary and thyme were fresh from our garden and were actually a bit over the top. We should have halved the amount as they were fresh. Looks like you used dried. Nevertheless the sauce and chops over the mash was a real treat and, as you claim, super moist and tender. We kept two we cooked back, along with the left over mash (and some nice steamed cabbage we did alongside) and had them for lunch the next day. Wowee! After they had sat and snoozed in the sauce and herbs overnight they were a whole different matter: the flavour was even more outstanding. Previously I had always seasoned pork chops with salt and pepper with a squirt of lemon juice for them to rest in a little. But the herby sauce is a game changer. Enjoy the coffee mate!
Looks delicious, yummy yummy 👍
I completely agree with you about turning the meat… I do believe that the meat stays more tender and juicy, and that includes beef and chicken. A butcher once gave me that tip for cooking the perfect tri tip. Thank you, I've liked and subscribed!
I made it, it was great. Thanks! I liked and subscribed.
It’s so refreshing to see simple wholesome English food 👍
That is beautiful
I like some broccoli with mine 😋
Those would cost $40.00 or more in Canada,
I'm from Iowa. We have fresh pork and beef all the time. I'm going to make this with Iowa chops. It's a very thick cut. At least an inch +. I'm going to start my own herbs. Nothing like fresh! Thank you for sharing !❤
I prefer bone-in chops anyday to boneless.
I would have some nice spring greens with that.
They look amazingly moist and succulent!! I always put my chops in the oven and they dry out!! Not again thanks to you!!!
Yum, can’t wait to try this. Thanks
What about the chops themselves. Are they ordinary supermarket or fresh from butchers. Tks.
In the sauce, a splash of dry white wine could be used in place of the chicken stock as well, if one were so inclined, I suppose.
Another option would be to finish the chops in the oven once they are seared and have their color, while the sauce is being made.
I have one pork chop left, which won't be baked tonight! Your mashed potato looks so creamy and fluffy. Simple and delicious.🎉😊
Beautifully done👏👏👏
Yummy 😋 thanks Rik
Tnx from Denmark.
So fantastic.
pork is my fave but i always mess it up, this looks yum yum yummy thank you
The bone in was always so delicious. You could hold it in your hands to eat it off the bone.
Lovely, my college son will be home for the weekend and I will serve these pork chops and mashed potatoes. Will use your lemon cake recipe as dessert. Thank you !
Sir, we tried this recipe last night and it was beyond delicious. The chops were so tender, juicy and flavorful. Thank you for sharing another fantastic dish.
Oh my gosh! Those look mouth watering good. I've got to try this one. My mom always destroyed chops, they were like shoe soles. So, I lost interest in chops. But, these look so juicy good 👍
