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