Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork chops
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 cup skim milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and the chopped onion. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent.

Step 4

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, stirring to combine with the onions. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 6

Add the fresh thyme leaves and continue to simmer until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the skim milk, and return the pork chops to the skillet. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat the pork chops through and allow them to absorb the flavors of the gravy.

Step 8

Serve the pork chops hot, with the gravy spooned over the top.
