Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops or chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.75 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the pork chops or chicken breasts with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Dredge the meat in the flour, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once it melts and starts to foam, brown the meat on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the meat from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, whisk in the remaining flour (from dredging) and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring the mixture is smooth. Let the gravy simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream, thyme, and paprika. Mix well until the gravy is creamy and well combined.
Return the browned pork chops or chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some gravy over each piece.
If your skillet is not oven-safe, transfer the contents to a baking dish. Cover with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F for pork or 165°F for chicken).
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serve warm with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
