Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.75 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring to combine, and cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Stir in the sour cream, ensuring it is fully combined into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through, until they are tender and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).

Step 9

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Ideal accompaniments include mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
