→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 (1.5-inch thick) boneless pork chops
02 -
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
03 -
4 tablespoons butter
04 -
2 cups chicken broth
→ Seasonings & Spices
05 -
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
06 -
1 tablespoon garlic powder
07 -
1 tablespoon onion powder
08 -
1 teaspoon paprika
→ Garnish & Toppings
09 -
Fresh parsley (optional)
→ Optional Extras
10 -
1 tablespoon brown sugar
11 -
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
# Instructions:
01 -
Pat the pork chops dry and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Dredge each chop in flour, ensuring it's fully coated.
02 -
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
03 -
Remove pork chops and pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Stir in brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer.
04 -
Return pork chops to the skillet, spooning gravy over them. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
05 -
Remove pork chops and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
06 -
Serve immediately, spooning gravy generously over the chops. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the pork chops – it'll lower the temperature and prevent browning.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet on the stovetop.
03 -
You can easily substitute the chicken broth with beef broth for a richer flavor.
04 -
A nice glass of red wine pairs perfectly with these pork chops.
