Directions
  1. Season the pork chops generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  4. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate to rest.
  5. Add the flour to the skillet, stirring it into the remaining oil to form a roux.
  6. Gradually pour in the broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
