Ingredients
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon fine salt, divided
ยฝ teaspoon black pepper
4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless), ยพ to 1 inch thick, totaling 1ยฝ to 2 pounds
2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
1 medium sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cups chicken broth, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
1 teaspoon ground sage
Optional garnishes: mashed potatoes, fresh thyme sprigs, or finely chopped parsley
Instructions
1-First, prepare the pork chops by seasoning them with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, half of the fine salt, and ยฝ teaspoon black pepper. This step adds depth and ensures every bite is tasty.
2-Next, heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for a few minutes on each side until they’re nicely browned, then set them aside to rest.
3-In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced medium sweet yellow onion and use some of the 2 cups chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up those flavorful bits from the bottom.
4-Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend and stir to thicken the mixture, cooking it briefly to remove any raw taste.
5-Stir in the remaining chicken broth, 1 teaspoon ground sage, and the rest of the fine salt, then let it simmer until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency.
6-Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon the gravy over them, and simmer on low heat until they reach an internal temperature of 145ยฐF, which keeps them tender and safe to eat.
7-Finally, garnish with options like mashed potatoes, fresh thyme sprigs, or finely chopped parsley before serving. For the best results, pair it with sides such as a simple banana bread if you’re adding a sweet touch to your meal.
