Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add the pork chops in batches, searing each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, whisk in 2 tablespoons of the remaining seasoned flour (leftover from dredging). Cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour is golden.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Then add the heavy cream, onion powder, and garlic powder. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens slightly.
Place the seared pork chops in a single layer in a large baking dish. Pour the gravy over the top, ensuring each chop is coated.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the gravy to thicken further and the edges of the pork chops to brown slightly.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, before serving. Enjoy your Church Pork Chops with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
