Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scrapping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for added flavor.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Slowly add this mixture to the skillet while stirring to prevent lumps.
Add dried thyme and rosemary to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the gravy simmer for about 5 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the unsweetened almond milk. Allow the gravy to heat through while stirring, ensuring it's well blended.
Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over each chop. Cover the skillet and let the pork chops simmer in the gravy for about 10 minutes or until they are cooked through and tender.
Serve the pork chops hot with the dairy-free gravy poured generously over them. Enjoy with your choice of sides for a complete meal.
