Savor the flavorful goodness of pork chops infused with bacon and served with a creamy lemon-thyme sauce. This recipe has the ideal balance of flavors to please even the pickiest palate.
Ingredients: 4 pork chops. 4 slices of bacon. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1 small onion, finely chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 cup heavy cream. 1 lemon, zest and juice. 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves. Salt and pepper, to taste. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Instructions: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, crumble it, and set it aside. In the same skillet, add olive oil and sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and fresh thyme leaves. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Return the crumbled bacon to the skillet and stir it into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the seared pork chops back into the skillet, coating them with the creamy bacon sauce. Let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 2 minutes to heat through. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve your delicious Bacon-infused Pork Chops with Lemon Thyme Cream Sauce and enjoy!
