Time 16m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

7 tablespoons salted butter
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 to 8 thin-cut breakfast pork chops
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1 tablespoon cream
Smashed Red Potatoes, recipe follows, for serving
6 large red potatoes
6 tablespoons salted butter
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter plus 2 tablespoons oil in each of 2 skillets over medium heat.
  • Put the onion and pepper slices in one skillet and cook until browned and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the seasoned salt, lemon pepper, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper and 1/2 cup of the flour in a pie plate. Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture.
  • Fry the chops in batches in the other skillet until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
  • To this skillet, add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons flour. Stir and cook until the roux gets some color on it, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the stock a bit at a time, working out all the lumps, then add the cream. Add the onions and peppers, coating them in the sauce.
  • Serve with plenty of sauce and the caramelized onions/peppers and accompany with the Smashed Red Potatoes.
  • Put the potatoes in a glass or microwavable bowl and microwave according to the manufacturer's instructions, 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl and smash the potatoes with a fork. Add the butter, salt and pepper, then smash again. Cover with a towel until ready to serve.
