How to make The Best Ever Skillet Pork Chops with Pan Gravy
Step 1: Season the pork chops with half tsp each salt and pepper. Make sure to cover all sides of the chops. Set them aside for about 30 minutes.
Step 2: In the meantime, combine the seasoning blend including flour, chilli powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sage, marjoram, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
Step 3: Pat the chops off before dredging it in the seasoning blend, making sure to coat all sides.
Step 4: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Once very hot, add the chops into the skillet with at least an inch space between the pieces. Sear the chops for about 2 to 3 minutes over medium-high heat or until golden brown. Flip the chops. Adjust the heat to low, put the lid on, and simmer for about 5 to 6 minutes if using thin chops or 8 to 10 minutes for thicker chops. The chops are done when their internal temperature reached 145 degrees F, and the juices run clear.
Step 5: Set the pork chops aside once done and cover to keep them warm.
Step 6: To the same skillet, pour the chicken broth and vinegar. Scrape the bottom of the skillet using a wooden spoon to release the browned bits. Add the honey, stir, and simmer until the mixture is reduced by half. Then, stir in the butter until melted.
Step 7: Take the skillet off the heat, then return the pork chops to the sauce. Spoon the gravy over the chops. Allow them to rest for at least a minute or two.
Step 8: Serve the pork chops with the sauce poured on top. Garnish with some fresh parsley. Enjoy!
Notes:
Feel free to adjust the seasoning blend to suit your taste. Use a mixture of herbs and spices, or omit the chilli powder.
