Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chops and set them aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently for another minute. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce and onions over the top.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
