Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large (sliced) yellow onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic cloves
- 1 pound (halved) baby potatoes
- 3 medium (peeled and cut into rounds) carrots
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Let them rest for 5 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Place the pork chops in the pot and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside on a plate.
In the same pot, add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the baby potatoes and carrots. Sauté the vegetables for 3 minutes, allowing them to lightly brown for added flavor.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the fresh thyme sprigs.
Nestle the seared pork chops back into the pot, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid.
Simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Stir in the heavy cream and let it warm through for 2-3 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the pork chops hot with the creamy vegetables and sauce spooned over the top.
