Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Season pork chops with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme, then sear them on both sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side.
  4. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add sliced potatoes and onion, and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add minced garlic, cook for another minute.
Cooking
  1. Place the pork chops on top of the potatoes, then pour chicken broth over everything.
  2. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
  4. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Timing is key: Make sure not to overcook the pork; a little pink is okay to keep the meat juicy. For a twist, use sweet potatoes or different herbs like rosemary. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for best results.
