Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring constantly to make a smooth sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream, cheddar cheese, and paprika. Mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat well.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Garnish with fresh parsley (if desired) before serving.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
