Smothered Pork Chops

Ingredients

Smothered Pork Chops

Pork Chops (breading)

  • 1 pound (500g) bone-in pork chops,* about 3/4-1 inch thick.

  • 1/2 tablespoon onion powder

  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne

  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Gravy

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1 cup green onion, thinly sliced

  • pinch of salt

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth, divided

  • 3/4 cup buttermilk or heavy cream

  • 1 packet pork gravy (mixes with 1 cup water)

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR PORK CHOPS

  • Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. Season pork chops with garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, seasoning salt, pepper and olive oil.

  • Dredge each chop in the flour; shake off the excess and KEEP THE REMAINING FLOUR.

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet or pan over medium heat. When hot, fry the pork chops in a single layer on each side until cooked through.

  • Remove pork chops from the pan and keep warm.

FOR GRAVY

  • In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

  • Add in sliced onions and add a pinch of salt. Cook while stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes. (Add in 1 tablespoon of the chicken broth if the pan becomes too dry.)

  • Add the garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  • Add 2 tablespoons of the remaining flour to the pan. Mix the flour into the onions and cook to dissolve, about 2 minutes.

  • Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the liquid reduce and thicken slightly, about 2 minutes.

  • Whisk in the buttermilk (or cream) and simmer for 1-2 minutes until thick and creamy.

  • Add pork gravy packet mixed with water.

  • Return the pork chops to the pan. Coat them in the sauce and let simmer until the pork is completely cooked through, about 5 minutes (or until the pork is cooked to your desired doneness).

  • Taste test and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Garnish with the chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with rice (or mashed potatoes).
