Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 cups Unsalted chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, maintain medium heat and slowly pour in the unsalted chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to form a slurry, ensuring there are no lumps.
Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly. Allow the broth to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring until the mixture thickens to a gravy consistency.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon some gravy over the top of each one.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the pork chops simmer in the gravy for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet, and stir in lemon juice and freshly chopped parsley into the gravy to enhance the flavor.
Serve the pork chops hot, smothered in gravy. Enjoy your low sodium pork chop with a heart-healthy side of vegetables or a light salad.
