Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 pork chops, 3/4-inch thick, bone-in
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup buttermilk
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Directions

Put the flour in a shallow platter and add the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture and then dredge them in the seasoned flour; shaking off the excess.

Heat a large saute pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is nice and hot, lay the pork chops in the pan in a single layer and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the pan and add a little sprinkle of seasoned flour to the pan drippings. Mix the flour into the fat to dissolve and then pour in the chicken broth in. Let the liquid cook down for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly. Stir in the buttermilk to make a creamy gravy and return the pork chops to the pan, covering them with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Everyone in my family loved this recipe. I used boneless chops but otherwise followed the recipe. This was my first time... making a gravy but it was very easy. Very good!Read more

Pretty good but missing some flavor
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a relatively easy recipe to make. I felt the buttermilk took it over and that was all you could taste- the sauce was... a bit bland. I added some fresh shallot, a few shakes of smoked paprika and that seemed to help it. Everyone enjoyed the dish.. even the person who does not like spicy. It wasn't overly "spicy" but it definitely had a kick to it. I would make this again with the modifications as it turned out very good. Read more

trust his spicing ratios!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I tried these the other night - used thick center cut pork chops (who doesn't like that little hunk of pork tenderloin in... their chop?!) and used the amounts of garlic/onion powder that Tyler recommended to put in the flour... Sounded like a lot but the chops and gravy were NOT over spiced! Very complimentary. Surprised me - in a good way! Thanks Tyler - keep cooking - Colleen, Naperville, IL.Read more
