Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Chop fresh garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.
  3. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Coat each chop with the seasoning mix, then dredge in flour.
  4. In a skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Lower the heat and add minced garlic and Italian seasoning to the skillet.
  6. Sprinkle in the reserved flour from dredging, stirring to combine and let it cook for about 1 minute.
  7. Pour in the dry white wine, scraping up any brown bits. Add chicken stock and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan until everything melds into a silky sauce.
  9. Place the seared pork chops back in the pan and simmer for an additional 5-6 minutes.
  10. Check that the pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 145°F. Serve warm.
