Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

6 pork chops
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
4 eggs
1 cup bread crumbs
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ cup butter
2 medium shallots, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup sherry
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Season each pork chop with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Mix flour, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl; whisk eggs together in a separate bowl; place bread crumbs into a third bowl.
Place a pork chop in the flour bowl, covering each side very lightly with flour. Move to beaten eggs, making sure to cover. Cover with bread crumbs. Repeat with remaining pork chops.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Cook each pork chop in the skillet until well-browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and cook until they have softened and released their liquid, about 5 minutes.
Add flour to the skillet and stir into a paste, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sherry slowly and stir until well combined; repeat with chicken broth, and then with heavy cream. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon gravy over pork chops. Cover the baking dish with foil.

Tips:

For the best results, use thick-cut pork chops that are at least 1-inch thick. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
To ensure that the pork chops are cooked evenly, pound them to an even thickness before cooking. This will also help them cook faster.
If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the pork chops.
Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
To create a flavorful crust on the pork chops, sear them in a hot skillet before baking them. This will also help to keep them juicy.
Don't overcrowd the skillet when searing the pork chops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
Once the pork chops are seared, transfer them to a baking dish and bake them in a preheated oven until they are cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
To make the smothering sauce, simply combine your favorite ingredients in a saucepan and simmer until thickened. You can use a variety of ingredients to make the sauce, such as tomatoes, onions, garlic, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
Once the sauce is thickened, pour it over the pork chops and bake them for an additional 15 minutes. This will allow the sauce to soak into the pork chops and create a delicious, flavorful dish.

Baked smothered pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
