Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 large yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions and set them aside. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the sliced onions and cook over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until they are softened and lightly caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring continuously for about 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring to create a thick, flavorful onion gravy. Stir in the dried thyme.
Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the onion mixture. Spoon some of the onions and sauce over the chops.
Cover the skillet with aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the onion baked pork chops hot with the caramelized onion gravy on top. Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
