Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.75 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring to combine, and cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the sour cream, ensuring it is fully combined into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through, until they are tender and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Ideal accompaniments include mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
