These Smothered Pork Chops are lightly breaded, pan-fried and drenched in a creamy and flavorful easy to make pan gravy. This is the ultimate in Southern comfort and one of our favorites meals. My family loves these chops no matter what I serve with them. But for the ultimate meal serve with creamy mashed potatoes, Southern Green Beans and Homemade Biscuits.

Ingredients

PORK CHOPS
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 bone in the center cut pork chops (about 3/4 inch thick)

How To Make smothered pork chops

Step 1

Combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a wide shallow bowl. Dredge the pork chops into the flour mixture.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable in a large skillet over medium heat. Now cook the pork chops until golden brown on both sides; 3-4 minutes per side. Plate them and cover loosely with an aluminum foil tent.
Step 3

Melt the butter in same skillet over medium low heat. Add the onions and cook until tender and golden brown while scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen the brown bits. Reduce the heat and add the garlic cooking for a 1 minute; stirring constantly.
Step 4

Sprinkle with the flour. Stir and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the chicken broth stirring until smooth. Whisk in the heavy cream. Add the pork chops back to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes turning the pork chops several times to coat with the gravy. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and serve promptly.
