Cast Iron Skillet Garlic Butter Pork Chops

 These garlic butter pork chops are so easy to make with so much flavor. They are so tender and will melt in your mouth, your family will love this easy-to-make meal.

It's no secret that I love cooking in my cast iron skillets. These pork chops are so easy to make, you can have a meal on the table in about 30 minutes. I used my Lodge 12-inch cast iron skillet for this delicious recipe. Browned on the stovetop and then oven baked with the garlic butter.

What I used for Garlic Butter Pork Chops:

2 pork chops 3/4 to 1-inch thick

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons butter (Melted)

4 cloves garlic (3 cloves pressed into butter 1 clove minced in pan)

2 cups sliced mushrooms (Optional)

Salt and Pepper to taste.

Directions for Garlic Butter Pork Chops:

1. Melt the 3 tablespoons of butter in the microwave, and using a garlic press add 3 cloves of garlic and give it a good stir. Set aside for later.
2. Add the olive oil to the bottom of the skillet and let heat up over medium heat.
3. Salt and pepper the pork chops to taste.
4. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
5. Add the clove of minced garlic to the pan and then the pork chops.
6. Brown the pork chops for about 2 to 4 minutes per side.
7. Add the mushrooms after the 1st side is browned. 
8. Pour the garlic butter over the pork chops and place the pan in the oven.
9. Bake until the internal temperature of the pork chops is at least 145 to 150 degrees.

I love mushrooms, but if you are not a fan of mushrooms try using fresh green beans or even brussel sprouts. I served the pork chops with mushrooms and baked potatoes. Click here for my Air Fryer Baked Potatoes.
