Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 12 ounces egg noodles (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, flour, salt, and black pepper. Coat each pork chop evenly in the mixture and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add the onions to the same skillet and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

Stir in the chicken broth and tomato paste, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.

Step 6

Turn off the heat. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and whisk the sour cream into the sauce until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Pork Chops Paprikash hot, optionally over cooked egg noodles, to soak up the flavorful sauce.
