Ingredients
  

For the Pork Chops
  • 4 pieces Pork Chops Bone-in for moisture, or boneless for easy cooking.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for enhancing the overall flavor of the meat.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Use freshly cracked black pepper for an added depth of flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Aromatic and flavorful; fresh garlic can offer a bolder taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Adds smokiness and a beautiful color; smoked paprika deepens the flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme A classic herb; substitute with rosemary or sage for a twist.
For the Gravy
  • 2 tablespoons Flour For dredging the chops; cornstarch works for a gluten-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Ideal for searing; vegetable oil or butter can be substituted.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness; use any cooking oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth Opt for low-sodium to control salt levels.
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Gives creaminess to the gravy; milk can be used for a lighter version.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce Adds umami; soy sauce is a great gluten-free alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Sweetens the gravy; maple syrup can create a similar flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard For tang; use any mustard type if that's what you have.
  • 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar Balances flavors with acidity; regular vinegar is a good substitute.

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Pat the Chops dry with a paper towel to achieve that delightful golden crust when searing!
  2. Mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme in a small bowl. Rub this herb blend all over the pork chops.
  3. Lightly dredge the seasoned chops in flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free), shaking off any excess.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  5. In the same skillet, add butter or oil if necessary. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of the dredging flour and cook for about 1 minute.
  6. Slowly whisk in chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the skillet. Add heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce, and simmer until it thickens.
  7. Lower the heat and add minced garlic, honey, both mustards, vinegar, and thyme. Stir until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Return the seared pork chops to the skillet and smother them in gravy. Simmer together for 5-7 minutes.
