Time 2h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

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.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 10 minutes more. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Categories     main-dish

Time 31m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

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.

SUPER TENDER SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS



Super Tender Smothered Pork Chops image

I've been making this simple dish for years. Plenty of gravy for mashed potatoes or rice. Sometimes I bake this covered in the oven at 350F - they come out just as moist and tender. Use bone-in or boneless chops. These are even better in the crock pot, if you have that much time.
