Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter.
Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux, ensuring no lumps remain.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to create a smooth sauce.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top of the chops.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the pork chops hot with the creamy sauce. They pair well with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables!
