Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup green chiles (roasted, diced)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the green chiles and stir for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and stir well to create a roux, cooking for 1 minute.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking to combine and avoid lumps.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the green chile sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving, if desired.
Serve the green chile pork chops hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
