Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the pork chops for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring constantly to make a smooth sauce.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream, cheddar cheese, and paprika. Mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 9

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat well.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley (if desired) before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
