Ingredients
– 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
– 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1 large onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, for gravy
Directions
1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper, then dredge in 1/2 cup flour.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add onions and garlic; sauté until soft.
4. Stir in 2 tablespoons flour, then gradually whisk in chicken broth to avoid lumps. Add paprika, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer.
