EASY SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat a heavy, oven safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops on both side generously with salt and pepper.
  • Sear the chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side over high heat. For thick chops (over 1-inch thick) transfer them to a 9×13 pan and finish cooking in the preheated 350 degree oven until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, about 15 minutes.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add in the olive oil, onion, and mushrooms and saute for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms and onions are soft and translucent.
  • Add in butter and garlic and cook garlic for 60 seconds.
  • Sprinkle in flour and stir until all white specks have disappeared, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, stirring until the sauce thickens.
  • When pork is cooked through, return the pork to the skillet. Serve hot smothered with the onion and mushroom gravy.

NOTES* 

The exact amount of salt you use to season your pork chops will depend on their size and thickness. Season generously.
