Let the pork chops sit at room temp for 20 mins before making the recipe. Season all sides generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a frying pan or pot over medium-high heat. Once hot add in the olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter. Add the pork chops and cook 3-5 mins on each side (depending on thickness - see notes). Transfer to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium and melt the 2 Tbsp of butter and minced garlic. Cook 1 minutes, stirring often.
Sprinkle the flour into the pan and stir with the butter. Add the broth and cook 1 minute until the sauce thickens.
Slowly stir in the cream, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and black pepper. Stir frequently until all parmesan melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add back the pork chops and cook until pork is heated through (Pork should reach 145°F with meat thermometer).
Remove the pan from heat just before pork is fully cooked. It will continue to cook a bit once it sits.

Let your pork chops sit uncovered and at room temperature for 20 minutes prior to seasoning. This will keep them from becoming dry by allowing them to cook more evenly.
During the searing step, you may notice that little bits of the porkchop are sticking to the pan. Leave them there, they will release when the liquid is added and will enhance the flavor so much more.
The pork chops will continue to cook in the sauce at the end so be sure to keep an eye on the thermometer and remove it from the heat just as it approaches 145°F. This will help to make them more juicy and tender.
Try marinating your pork beforehand! Marinating pork in a milk bath will help tenderize them. You can use buttermilk or whole milk and add it to a zip-lock bag along with the pork chops. Let them sit in the fridge for at least an hour.
Add veggies! You can all sorts of veggies to the pan. Mushrooms, peas, and corn are perfect and add a little color to the dish. You can add sliced mini potatoes for a heartier meal but just be sure to cook them to your desired softness. Consider steaming hearty veggies first then adding them to the creamy sauce.

Storing Leftovers

REFRIGERATE – Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container. Water may start to separate from the sauce after 1 day. Simply stir while reheating.
REHEAT – You can reheat your leftovers in the microwave or over medium in a saucepan. Stir the sauce as it heats to keep it from burning.
