Ingredients
- 3-4 pork chops 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick
- salt and pepper
- ½ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ cup butter
Gravy
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups thinly sliced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops with paper towels to dry the exterior. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Whisk together the flour, garlic powder and onion powder.
- Dredge each chop in the flour making sure to lightly shake off any excess flour. Remove two tablespoons of the leftover flour and place in a small bowl for the gravy later.
- Place the butter in a large lidded skillet over medium heat. Heat the butter, then sauté the pork chops in a single layer. Cook the first side for 7-8 minutes or until well browned then flip. Cook for another 5 minutes until the other side is well browned then remove and place on a plate and keep warm. This cooking time is for thick pork chops, you want less time for thin pork chops that might overcook.
- Melt the next two tablespoons of butter in the same pan. Add in the 2 cups of onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
- Add the garlic and poultry seasoning then cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle the two tablespoons of flour onto the onion butter mixture and cook, stirring, until the flour has been absorbed, around 1-2 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth, de-glazing the pan by scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Bring to a low simmer and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the buttermilk until the mixture is thick and creamy.
- Place the pork chops back into the pan. Spoon the sauce over top of the pork chops to cover them.
- Bring to a low simmer, place the lid on top of the skillet, and cook until the pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 145°F. Turn the pork chops occasionally and stir the sauce to prevent any burning on the bottom of the pan.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Feel free to add more onions to this recipe if you are an onion lover, the onions cook down a lot in this recipe.
