Ingredients
- 4 bone-in center cut pork chops 1 to 1 1/2-inch thick
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large white onion halved and sliced
- 8 ounces white or cremini mushrooms sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pat 4 bone-in center cut pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the seared chops to the prepared 9x13 pan. Finish cooking in the oven until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), about 15 minutes.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 large white onion (halved and sliced), 8 ounces white or cremini mushrooms. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 teaspoons minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Stir for 1 minute until no white streaks remain.
- Slowly pour in 2 cups chicken broth, stirring continuously. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Taste the gravy and add additional salt, if needed.
- When the pork chops are finished baking, return them to the skillet. Spoon the onion and mushroom gravy over the pork chops. Serve hot.

Notes
- For thin pork chops, you can cook them in the skillet without transferring them to the oven. Chops that are 1/2 inch thick can cook as quickly as 4 to 5 minutes per side. Once cooked, set aside to make your gravy. For best results, use thick cut pork chops.
