For a richer flavor, use bone-in pork chops. Adjust the amount of sage according to your preference, as sage can be quite pungent. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Indulge in the savory symphony of Creamy Sage and Garlic Pork Chops! Each bite offers a delightful fusion of tender pork, fragrant sage, and creamy garlic sauce, finished with crispy fried sage leaves for an unforgettable culinary experience.
Pat chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of rubbed sage. Set aside. (5 minutes)
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until sizzling. Add sage leaves in a single layer and cook until crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel to drain, then chop. (5 minutes)
Add seasoned chops to the same skillet and brown both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove chops to a plate. (10 minutes)
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, until all flour is moistened with the oil and begins to bubble. Add chicken broth and stir rapidly until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in white wine and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage. (5 minutes)
Gradually stir in cream, and simmer until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Return chops to the skillet, and cook in the sauce for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the center of chops reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (10 minutes)
Sprinkle with chopped fried sage leaves and serve immediately. (2 minutes)
