Southern-style smothered pork chops simmered in a creamy onion gravy — cozy, hearty, and made in one pan!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 boneless pork chops
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sliced onion
  • 2 teaspoons grated garlic (or finely minced)
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season and cook the chops: Season the pork chops with poultry seasoning, kosher salt, and pepper.
    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and simmering, add the pork chops and cook for 5 minutes on each side. They should be well-browned on both sides. Transfer the chops to a plate and set aside.

  2. Cook the onions: Add the butter to the pan and place it over medium heat. Add the onion and a dash of salt and sauté for 7 to 10 minutes or until the onions are browned. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Stir the flour into the onion mixture until it is well incorporated, and cook for 1 minute.

  3. Make the sauce: Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits left in the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste the sauce mixture and adjust the seasonings.

  4. Finish the pork in the sauce: Stir in the cream and add the pork back to the pan. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the pork is thoroughly cooked. The minimum safe temperature for pork is 145°F.
