Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 - bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 2 lbs) Bone-in pork chops can give more flavor, but boneless is easier to manage.
  • 6 medium potatoes (peeled and sliced into rounds) Opt for starchy potatoes like Russets for creamy texture.
  • 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced) Toasting the garlic is recommended for better flavor.
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken soup) Cream of chicken soup is a great substitute.
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
