Can I use bone-in pork chops instead?

Absolutely! Bone-in chops add amazing flavor - just give them an extra 2-3 minutes per side since the bone slows cooking. Use a meat thermometer to hit 145°F internally, and let them rest 5 minutes before serving (this keeps them juicy).

What can I use instead of heavy cream?

Half-and-half works in a pinch, but the sauce will be thinner - try whisking in a teaspoon of flour when sautéing the garlic to help thicken it. For keto meal plans, full-fat coconut cream is a fun twist (though it'll taste slightly different).

My garlic always burns! Help?

Been there! The key is medium (not high) heat after searing the chops. Watch your garlic like a hawk - the moment it starts smelling amazing (about 30 seconds), pour in that cream. If it browns, you'll get bitter flecks in your gorgeous sauce.
