Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops or chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.75 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the pork chops or chicken breasts with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 3

Dredge the meat in the flour, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 4

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once it melts and starts to foam, brown the meat on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the meat from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, whisk in the remaining flour (from dredging) and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to create a roux.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring the mixture is smooth. Let the gravy simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream, thyme, and paprika. Mix well until the gravy is creamy and well combined.

Step 8

Return the browned pork chops or chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some gravy over each piece.

Step 9

If your skillet is not oven-safe, transfer the contents to a baking dish. Cover with foil.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F for pork or 165°F for chicken).

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
