Smothered Pork Chops with Gravy

Ingredients

• 1½ lb boneless pork chops
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 clove garlic
• 2 cup chicken broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional)

Steps

1. Pat pork chops dry. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge pork chops in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown; remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Add sliced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the remaining flour mixture into the skillet with the onions and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer, stirring until gravy thickens.
6. Return pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until pork chops are very tender.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
