Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 sprig fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the seasoned pork chops in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear them for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the pork chops simmer for 30 minutes, turning them once halfway through, until tender and fully cooked.

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme, if desired, and serve warm. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
