Provided by Adam and Joanne Gallagher

Categories     Dinner

Time 45m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 pork chops, about 1-inch thick and 6 to 7 ounces each, see notes
Salt, to taste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon chili powder, see our homemade chili powder recipe
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon neutral oil like avocado oil or vegetable oil
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock, see our homemade chicken stock recipe
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional

Steps:

  • Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and season on both sides with salt - we use just less than 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt per pork chop. Set the chops aside to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  • After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to pat the pork chops dry, then rub both sides of the chops with the spice rub.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and looks shimmery, add the pork. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Flip the pork so that the seared side is facing up. If there is a fattier side of the pork, use kitchen tongs to hold the chops, fat-side-down until it sizzles and browns slightly; about 30 seconds.
  • Reduce the heat to low, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook 6 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145° F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. Cook time depends on the thickness of the chops, so check for doneness at 5 minutes, then go from there, checking every 2 minutes after that. If you do not have a thermometer, you will know they are done, if, when cutting into the chops, the juices run clear.
  • Transfer pork chops to a plate, then cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
  • While the pork rests, make the pan sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the chicken stock, vinegar, and honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan so that any stuck bits of pork come up.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Taste, then adjust the seasoning with additional salt, vinegar, or honey.
  • Slide the skillet off of the heat and when the sauce is no longer simmering, swirl in the butter.
  • Slide the pork chops back into the pan and spoon some of the sauce on top. Alternatively, slice the chops, then place them back into the pan. Scatter fresh parsley over the pork, and then serve.

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 -6 center-cut pork chops (center cut with BONE IN)
salt & pepper
1 1/2 cups chicken broth (OR 1 cup broth & 1/2 cup white wine, if you prefer )
onion powder
ginger powder
2 tablespoons oil, just enough to lightly cover the bottom of pan. I use olive oil, but vegetable oil can be used
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon flour
1 dash Gravy Master

Steps:

  • Heat the oil & then brown the chops well on both sides in the skillet. Once browned, sprinkle each chop with salt, pepper, onion powder, and ginger powder. Add the broth or the broth/wine combo totaling a cup and a half, reduce heat to low & cover.
  • Simmer for approximately 45 minutes. Spoon the pan drippings over the chops for added flavor & moistness while cooking. Serve with rice or noodles.
  • For optional gravy: Blend 1/4 cup water and 1 tablespoon flour in small bowl until free of lumps. Add this mixture into the pan liquid and cook over low-med heat, stirring until it has thickened (you can always add a little water at this point if needed). Sometimes I add Gravy Master for color.
  • I usually put the chops back into the pan for several minutes once the gravy is done to make sure the dish is hot enough to serve.

YUMMY SKILLET PORK CHOPS



Yummy skillet pork chops image

Make and share this Yummy skillet pork chops recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Mudpupsall

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 boneless pork chops
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed French onion soup
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons vinegar
2 teaspoons minced garlic

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook the chops in oil until no pink remains.
  • Remove from skillet.
  • Combine soup, sugar, vinegar, and garlic in skillet.
  • Cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens.
  • Place the chops back into skillet, turning to coat and heat through.
  • Serve over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops generously: Before cooking, season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. This will help enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Sear the pork chops over high heat: To create a nice crust on the outside of the pork chops, sear them over high heat for a few minutes per side. This will also help to seal in the juices.
  • Reduce the heat and cook the pork chops until they are done: After searing the pork chops, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook them until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Once the pork chops are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork chop.

Conclusion:

Cooking pork chops in a skillet is a quick and easy way to prepare a delicious and satisfying meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out perfectly cooked and flavorful every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give this recipe a try!
