Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 piece onion (medium, finely chopped)
- 2 teaspoons paprika (sweet Hungarian)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons oil (for searing)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chops and set them aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour and paprika over the onions and garlic. Stir well to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to create a smooth sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Be careful not to let the mixture boil.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chops simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the pork chops hot, topped with the creamy paprika sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley. Pair with egg noodles, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
