Smothered Pork Chops

This recipe comes from Delish.

Ingredients

4 thick, bone-in pork chops

Kosher salt

Freshly ground pepper

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. chili powder

1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil, divided

2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced

2 Tbsp. butter

1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Season pork chops all over with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together flour with garlic powder and chili powder. Coat pork chops in flour, shaking off excess. Reserve 2 tablespoons seasoned flour.

Step 3

In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, heat 1/4 cup oil until shimmering. In batches, cook pork chops until golden, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Wipe out skillet.

Step 4

Reduce heat to medium low, pour in remaining oil, and add onions. Season with more salt and pepper and cook until very soft and slightly caramelized, 15-20 minutes. Add butter and let melt, then sprinkle in reserved flour. Cook until flour is no longer raw, about a minute. Stir in chicken broth and heavy cream and bring to a simmer, until sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Return pork chops to skillet and cook until pork is cooked through, about 10 minutes more.
