Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream (optional, for a creamier gravy)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set them aside on a plate.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together until well combined.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, coating both sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour and reserve the remaining flour mixture for later.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted and starts to bubble, carefully place the pork chops in the skillet.
Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tenting them loosely with foil to keep warm.
Lower the heat to medium, then add the sliced onions to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and golden brown.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour mixture over the onions and stir well to coat. Cook the flour, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute to remove any raw flavor.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to create a gravy. Add the Worcestershire sauce and continue stirring until the gravy thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Optional: Stir in the heavy cream for a richer, creamier gravy. Cook for another minute, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Spoon some of the gravy over the chops and let them simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes to reheat and absorb the flavors.
Serve the pork chops hot, smothered in the onion gravy. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables for the ultimate cozy meal.
