Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 2 large onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Sear the pork chops in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
Thinly slice the onions and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the same skillet and sauté in the leftover oil and butter mixture for 5-7 minutes, until softened and caramelized.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate any raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring, ensuring the mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer to thicken the sauce.
Add the heavy cream and dried thyme, stirring until fully combined. Allow the sauce to bubble gently for 2-3 minutes.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the onion sauce. Cover and cook over low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the chops are fully cooked and tender.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional salt or pepper.
Serve the pork chops hot, smothered in onion sauce, alongside your favorite side dishes.
