Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 7

Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top of each chop.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
