Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops
• 1 large Onion
• 1 can Cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the onion into rings.

Step 3

Place the butter in a large microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 30 seconds until melted.

Step 4

Add the sliced onions to the dish, stir to coat in the butter, and microwave on high for 3 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream into the softened onions until combined.

Step 6

Lay the seasoned pork chops in the dish, submerging them slightly into the creamy onion mixture.

Step 7

Cover the dish tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid. Be sure to leave a small vent for steam to escape.

Step 8

Microwave on high for 10–12 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through cooking, until the pork chops are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Carefully remove the dish from the microwave and let it rest, covered, for 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot alongside mashed potatoes or rice for a complete meal.
