Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large (sliced) Yellow onion
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) Thyme (fresh)
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Parsley (fresh)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Lightly dredge the pork chops in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until bubbling.
Sear the pork chops on each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate the browned bits into the sauce.
Stir in the heavy cream and chopped thyme, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the gravy over the chops.
Cover and cook the pork chops for an additional 15 minutes on low heat, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetables.
