Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 sprig fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and set them aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well.

Step 3

Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour and set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer the chops to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the leftover seasoned flour mixture into the skillet with the onions. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to eliminate any raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the pork chops simmer in the gravy for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked and tender.

Step 10

Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired, and serve the pork chops with the creamy gravy spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
