Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 piece onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 0.5 piece lemon, juiced

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken slightly.

Step 7

Pour in the heavy cream and add the freshly chopped dill. Stir well to combine and season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them in the creamy dill sauce. Cover with a lid and let them simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked and tender.

Step 9

Before serving, squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the dish for a hint of brightness.

Step 10

Serve the pork chops hot, spooning the dill cream sauce generously over the top. Great accompaniments include mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
