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.

Comfort food at its' finest!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband was not overly excited when I told him we were having pork chops for dinner, but he quickly changed his tune when... he tried these chops. This is one of the few recipes that is perfect as is. The flavors, especially in the gravy, are wonderful! I served this with buttermilk mashed potatoes and roasted red onions. Tyler, you've done it again!Read more

Wonderful Recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These chops were flavorful, and so tender! I loved the gravy, especially the kick the cayenne gave it. I used double the... seasoning in the dredging, so they came out extra flavorful - I definitely recommend doing this, there's so much flour in that mixture. My family loved this dish, and I'll be making it again real soon.Read more

didn't care for the sauce
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I was looking for something without apples or sweetness for the hubby, but I really didn't care for the sauce/gravy. It had... a flat taste to it. will make the pork chops using a pork gravy next time instead of this one.Read more
