Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 2 large onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Step 3
Sear the pork chops in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Thinly slice the onions and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the same skillet and sauté in the leftover oil and butter mixture for 5-7 minutes, until softened and caramelized.
Step 5
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate any raw flour taste.
Step 6
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring, ensuring the mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer to thicken the sauce.
Step 7
Add the heavy cream and dried thyme, stirring until fully combined. Allow the sauce to bubble gently for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the onion sauce. Cover and cook over low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the chops are fully cooked and tender.
Step 9
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional salt or pepper.
Step 10
Serve the pork chops hot, smothered in onion sauce, alongside your favorite side dishes.
