Calories: 362kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 4 boneless pork chops, about ¾ inches thick
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth, low sodium
Instructions
- In a large food storage bag, shake together onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and cracked black pepper.
- Place raw pork chops, one at a time, into the bag and shake to fully coat.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Sear each side of pork chops, about two minutes per side. Then remove pork chops from pan and set aside.
- Using the same (now empty) frying pan, reduce the heat to medium-high and add butter, minced garlic, onion and mushrooms and cook over high heat until onions start to brown.
- Add flour to frying pan and stir until you no longer see any white.
- Pour chicken broth into frying pan and boil over medium-high heat until mixture starts to thicken, four to seven minutes. Stir often so it doesn’t burn or stick to bottom of pan.
- Add pork chops back to the frying pan and cook until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Remove from frying pan. Serve hot.
Notes
- Searing will lock in all the juiciness of the meat, so make sure not to skip this step.
- The cooking time for your pork chops will vary depending on how thick they are. Use a meat thermometer to check that they are cooked through.
