Ingredients
– 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops, each ¾ to 1 inch thick (totaling 1 ½ to 2 lbs)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon fine salt (divided)
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
– 1 sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cups chicken broth (divided)
– 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free flour blend)
– 1 teaspoon ground sage
Instructions
1-First, season the pork chops generously with garlic powder, onion powder, half the fine salt, and black pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then brown the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until they develop a nice crust. Remove them from the pan and set aside to keep warm, which helps them stay juicy.
2-Next, deglaze the pan with ¼ cup of chicken broth, scraping up those tasty browned bits for extra flavor. Add the thinly sliced sweet yellow onion and sauté until it’s tender and browned, about 5 minutes. This step builds the base of the rich gravy that makes the dish so special.
3-Then, sprinkle 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the onions and stir to create a thickening mixture. Pour in the remaining 1 ¾ cups of chicken broth along with the ground sage and the rest of the fine salt, then let it simmer until the gravy thickens nicely. Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon some gravy over them, and cook for 2-6 minutes until they reach 145°F inside.
4-Finally, garnish with fresh thyme or parsley and serve hot with sides like mashed potatoes. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness, as this ensures safe, tender results.
