Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour and paprika. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Dip each pork chop into the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Dip it into the egg mixture, and then return it to the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating. Repeat for all pork chops.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated pork chops in the skillet and fry for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked with an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Tent them loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Drain most of the oil from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons and the brown bits at the bottom for flavor. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt over medium heat.
Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the remaining seasoned flour (from the dredging process) and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste. Let the gravy simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
Serve the fried pork chops hot, smothered with the creamy gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
