Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 6 small potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Dredge the chops in flour, shaking off the excess.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork chops until golden brown on each side, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté until softened.
  5. Whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Add the heavy cream, then return the pork chops to the skillet. Nestle in the sliced potatoes.
  7. Cover and simmer on low heat until the pork chops are tender and the potatoes are cooked through, about 35 minutes.
  8. Garnish with parsley and serve hot with the gravy spooned over the top.

Notes

You can swap out the potatoes for mashed potatoes or even rice if you want something different. If you prefer a lighter dish, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
