Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 pork chops, 3/4-inch thick, bone-in
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup buttermilk
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

Put the flour in a shallow platter and add the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture and then dredge them in the seasoned flour; shaking off the excess.
Heat a large saute pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is nice and hot, lay the pork chops in the pan in a single layer and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the pan and add a little sprinkle of seasoned flour to the pan drippings. Mix the flour into the fat to dissolve and then pour in the chicken broth in. Let the liquid cook down for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly. Stir in the buttermilk to make a creamy gravy and return the pork chops to the pan, covering them with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Categories Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 8-oz Boneless pork chops
1 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 large Onion ((sliced into thin half moons))
2 cloves Garlic ((minced))
1 tbsp Fresh thyme ((or 1 tsp dried thyme))
1 cup Chicken broth, reduced sodium
1.5 oz Cream cheese ((cut into small chunks))

Steps:

Season the pork chops on both sides with sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear on both sides, about 3 minutes per side without moving, until browned. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium-low or medium. Using the same dutch oven, saute the sliced onions for 15-20 minutes, until caramelized.
Once the onions are caramelized, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Add the minced garlic and thyme leaves to the dutch oven. Saute for about a minute, until fragrant.
Add the chicken broth to the dutch oven. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for about 2-3 minutes, until it gets thicker and the volume is reduced by at least 1/4.
Remove from heat. Add the cream cheese. Stir in the cream cheese until it melts into the sauce.
Return the pork chops to the dutch oven and spoon the sauce and onions over them. Cover with the lid and bake for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through. (Time will vary depending on the thickness of your pork chops - use a thermometer to check and cook to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).)
