Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Dredge the pork chops lightly in the all-purpose flour to create a thin coating.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter.

Step 6

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 7

Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and milk, whisking until smooth and well combined to form the sauce.

Step 8

Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the pork chops simmer in the sauce for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and tender. The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Stir the sauce occasionally to prevent sticking, and add a splash of milk if it becomes too thick.

Step 11

Once done, remove the skillet from heat and let the dish rest for a few minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
