 Pork Chops Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil or butter
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth (or stock)

• Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

   • In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
4. Make the Gravy:
   • Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
   • Stir in Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Bring to a simmer.
5. Return Pork Chops:
   • Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over them.
   • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the pork chops are cooked through and tender.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the pork chops with the gravy spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

• Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or bread to soak up the delicious gravy!
• You can add mushrooms or bell peppers to the gravy for extra flavor and texture.
