Instructions
- Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced onions. Cook for 8-10 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute.
- Slowly pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Add heavy cream, fresh rosemary, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken.
- Return pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
- Cover and simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F).
- Remove bay leaf before serving.
- Serve hot, spooning the onion gravy over the pork chops.
Notes
- If the gravy is too thick, add a bit more chicken broth. If it's too thin, simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.
- Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
- Taste the gravy before returning the pork chops to the skillet and adjust seasoning if needed.
