Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden crust and are cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside to rest.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, stir in the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and crumbled blue cheese, whisking until the cheese is fully melted and the gravy is smooth and creamy. Taste the gravy and season with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Return the pork chops to the skillet to warm through, spooning the gravy over them.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
