Ingredients

Scale

Proteins:

  • 4 boneless pork chops

Seasonings and Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Cooking Liquids and Aromatics:

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Blend 1 cup flour with 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, ½ tsp garlic powder, and ½ tsp onion powder in a shallow dish for your seasoned coating.
  2. Thoroughly pat your pork chops dry using paper towels to ensure crispy exterior.
  3. Roll each pork chop completely in the seasoned flour mixture, tapping off any excess coating.
  4. Heat ¼ cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the surface looks shimmery and hot.
  5. Gently place flour-coated pork chops into the hot skillet, cooking 3-4 minutes per side until achieving a deep golden-brown crust.
  6. Transfer pork chops to a separate plate, keeping them warm.
  7. Finely dice 1 whole onion and mince 2 garlic cloves for your sauce base.
  8. Melt 2 tbsp butter in the same skillet, then sauté onions for 2-3 minutes until they turn translucent.
  9. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until releasing its aromatic fragrance.
  10. Pour 2 cups chicken broth into the skillet, using a spatula to scrape up all those flavorful browned bits.
  11. Carefully return pork chops to the skillet and reduce heat to low.
  12. Cover and simmer 10-12 minutes, ensuring pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
  13. Remove lid and allow sauce to reduce for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly.
  14. Sprinkle 2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley over the pork chops just before serving for a bright, fresh finish.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to check pork chop doneness for perfectly juicy results without overcooking.
  • For extra crispiness, let the seasoned flour coating rest on the pork chops for 10 minutes before frying to help it adhere better.
  • Choose bone-in pork chops for deeper flavor if preferred, adjusting cooking time slightly to ensure even cooking.
  • Gluten-free option: Replace wheat flour with cornstarch or almond flour for a similar crispy coating that works well for those with dietary restrictions.
