Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.
Add olive oil and butter to the preheated skillet. Once the butter has melted and starts to bubble, carefully add the pork chops.
Sear the pork chops on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown. They do not need to be fully cooked at this stage. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the onions are softened and golden brown.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the remaining seasoned flour into the skillet with the onions and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to create a smooth sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the milk or heavy cream. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the onion gravy. Cover the skillet and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked and tender (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve the pork chops with gravy over mashed potatoes or rice.
