Creating Smothered Boneless Pork Chops in Garlic Sauce is a breeze! Just follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Pork Chops: Season the boneless pork chops with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme on both sides.

2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

3. Brown the Chops: Add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

5. Add Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce. Stir well to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.

6. Return Chops: Add the seared pork chops back into the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.

7. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the pork chops are cooked through and tender.

8. Thicken Sauce (optional): If a thicker sauce is desired, mix cornstarch with a little water in a small bowl, then stir into the sauce. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.

9. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving.

10. Serve: Serve immediately, spooning the garlic sauce generously over the pork chops.

Each step is crucial to ensuring your pork chops are juicy and flavorful. By following these instructions, you’ll achieve a wonderful meal that is sure to impress.
