Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Pork Chops (Bone-in or boneless) For moist, flavorful bites.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 4 tablespoons Butter Or olive oil as an alternative.
  • 1 medium Onion Chopped yellow or white for sweetness.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Freshly minced.
  • 1/4 cup Flour For thickening.
  • 2 cups Chicken or Beef Broth Low-sodium preferred.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Milk can be used for a lighter version.
  • 4 medium Potatoes Yukon Gold or Russet, cut into chunks.
  • 1 tablespoon Herbs & Spices Fresh thyme or rosemary.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat butter in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan.
Cooking
  1. Toss in the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
  2. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute before gradually adding the broth. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
  4. Place back the pork chops into the pan and add in the potatoes.
  5. Cover and let cook for about 30 minutes or until tender.
  6. Sprinkle with herbs before serving.

Notes

Let your pork chops rest for a few minutes after cooking for juicier meat. For variations, try chicken thighs or a plant-based protein like tofu. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
