Ingredients
For the Pork Chops:
-
4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (¾ to 1 inch thick)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Supreme Gravy:
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
-
1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
-
½ cup sour cream
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh if available)
-
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Directions
1. Season the Pork Chops
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
2. Sear to Perfection
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 3–4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. You don’t need to cook them through—just get that delicious outer layer. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
3. Sauté the Onions & Garlic
In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft and caramelized. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Create the Supreme Sauce
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth. Whisk until smooth. Add the sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Let the sauce simmer gently for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken and the flavors to develop.
5. Simmer with Pork Chops
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon the gravy over the top, cover the pan with a lid, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F / 63°C).
6. Serve and Enjoy
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered egg noodles to soak up the delicious gravy. A side of steamed green beans or roasted carrots completes the meal beautifully.
Chef’s Notes:
-
You can use boneless pork chops, but bone-in adds more flavor.
-
For a richer flavor, use homemade mushroom soup or sauté fresh mushrooms along with the onions.
-
Make it ahead! This dish reheats beautifully for up to 3 days and gets even better as it sits.
