Pork Chops with Garlic-Rosemary Cream

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons coarsely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 cup sour cream
4 bone-in pork loin chops (1 inch thick)
1 cup lower-sodium chicken broth

Place 1 tablespoon of the oil and garlic in large ovenproof skillet; cook over medium heat 30 to 60 seconds or until fragrant.

Chop together cooked garlic, rosemary, pepper and salt until very fine. While chopping, occasionally press down on mixture with flat side of knife to achieve paste consistency. Combine sour cream and garlic mixture in small bowl.

Heat oven to 400°F.

Sprinkle both sides of pork chops with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Cook pork 3 minutes or until browned on bottom. Turn; remove from heat.

Spread 1 tablespoon of the garlic cream onto browned side of each pork chop; place skillet in oven. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until pale pink in center.

Place pork on plate; cover loosely with foil.

Add broth to skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of skillet. Boil until reduced by half or slightly thickened. Drizzle pork chops with pan juices.
