Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides, then shake off any excess flour.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and vegetable oil.
Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the pork chops to the skillet in a single layer. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add the sliced onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until the onions are softened and slightly caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to deglaze and loosen any browned bits from the pan (this adds flavor to the gravy).
Reduce the heat to low, stir in the heavy cream, and sprinkle in the fresh thyme.
Return the pork chops (and any juices that have accumulated on the plate) to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over the pork chops and cover the skillet with a lid.
Let the pork chops simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C). Stir the sauce occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the skillet from heat. Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the pork chops hot, generously ladled with the creamy gravy. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. These pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
