Pork Chops in Gravy (Smothered Pork Chops)

by Rebecca December 20, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 35 mins | Total Time: 50 mins | Yield: 4 Servings

You will not be disappointed with this dish at all! These Pork Chops in Gravy (Smothered Pork Chops) are total comfort food! Juicy pieces of meat in a rich sauce, what’s not to love? Enjoy!

Ingredients:

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt, to taste

¼ c flour

¼ teaspoon paprika

4 pork chops

3 tbsp olive oil

Gravy:

1 beef bouillon cube or 1 tsp better than bouillon

1/3 c half and half

4 tbsp Butter

¼ tsp dried thyme

1 tsp garlic powder

2 c chicken broth

¼ tsp dried sage

1 tsp onion powder

2-3 drops of Kitchen Bouquet, optional

1 tsp low sodium soy sauce, can sub-Worcestershire sauce

4 tbsp Flour

¼ tsp dried rosemary

Directions:

Pork Chops:

Sprinkle salt over the pork chops, then rub each to coat. Allow them to rest for about half an hour.

Wrap each pork chop with a saran and pound each to tenderize them. Use a meat mallet for this step.

Add paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and flour into a large mixing bowl. Whisk everything to combine.

In another bowl, add the seasonings, chicken broth, beef bouillon, and soy sauce. Stir to combine.

After 30 minutes, use paper towels to pat dry the pork chops. Add them into the bowl with the flour mixture and toss to coat. Shake off any excess flour.

Place a large pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add oil and allow it to become hot.

Add the coated pork chops in batches into the hot pan. Sear each side for about 2 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

Remove the 1st batch of the pork chops from the pan and put them onto a clean plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the process with the rest of the uncooked pork chops.

Gravy:

In the same pan over medium-high heat, add butter and allow it to melt. Whisk in flour and cook for about a minute to remove the raw taste.

Add the broth mixture and half & half, then stir to combine. Simmer the gravy for a few minutes until thick.

Turn the heat down to medium-low, then put the pork chops back into the pan and toss to coat with the gravy. Cover and cook for 10 more minutes.

Serve and enjoy!

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • ¼ c flour
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 4 pork chops
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Gravy:
  • 1 beef bouillon cube or 1 tsp better than bouillon
  • 1/3 c half and half
  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • ¼ tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 c chicken broth
  • ¼ tsp dried sage
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2-3 drops of Kitchen Bouquet, optional
  • 1 tsp low sodium soy sauce, can sub-Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 tbsp Flour
  • ¼ tsp dried rosemary

Instructions

Pork Chops:

Sprinkle salt over the pork chops, then rub each to coat. Allow them to rest for about half an hour.

Wrap each pork chop with a saran and pound each to tenderize them. Use a meat mallet for this step.

Add paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and flour into a large mixing bowl. Whisk everything to combine.

In another bowl, add the seasonings, chicken broth, beef bouillon, and soy sauce. Stir to combine.

After 30 minutes, use paper towels to pat dry the pork chops. Add them into the bowl with the flour mixture and toss to coat. Shake off any excess flour.

Place a large pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add oil and allow it to become hot.

Add the coated pork chops in batches into the hot pan. Sear each side for about 2 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

Remove the 1st batch of the pork chops from the pan and put them onto a clean plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the process with the rest of the uncooked pork chops.

Gravy:

In the same pan over medium-high heat, add butter and allow it to melt. Whisk in flour and cook for about a minute to remove the raw taste.

Add the broth mixture and half & half, then stir to combine. Simmer the gravy for a few minutes until thick.

Turn the heat down to medium-low, then put the pork chops back into the pan and toss to coat with the gravy. Cover and cook for 10 more minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
