Easy Smothered Boneless Pork Chops (Print version)

Tender boneless pork chops simmered in creamy onion gravy for an easy one-skillet comfort dinner.

# Ingredients:

For the pork chops

01 - 4 boneless center-cut pork chops, 3/4 to 1 inch thick, about 1 1/2 lb (680 g)
02 - 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour, divided
03 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
04 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
08 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the onion gravy

09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 - 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
11 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
12 - 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) low-sodium chicken broth
13 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
14 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
15 - 1/3 cup (80 ml) heavy cream
16 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for serving

# Instructions:

01 - In a shallow dish, combine 1/3 cup flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Set the remaining flour aside for the gravy.
02 - Pat the pork chops dry. Dredge each chop lightly in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden, then transfer them to a plate. They will finish cooking in the gravy.
04 - Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and sliced onion to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until the onion softens and starts to turn golden.
05 - Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour and stir for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in chicken broth, then add Worcestershire sauce and thyme.
06 - Stir in the cream. Return the pork chops and any juices to the skillet. Simmer gently for 5-8 minutes, turning once, until the pork reaches 145 F and the gravy thickens.
07 - Remove the skillet from the heat and rest the chops in the gravy for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot with extra gravy spooned over the top.

# Good to know:

01 - Best with boneless pork chops about 3/4 to 1 inch thick.
02 - Add broth by the tablespoon if the gravy thickens too much before the pork is done.
03 - Estimated nutrition is per serving.
