Pork Chops

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - Pork Chops bone-in or boneless, ¾ to 1 inch thick, 1 ½ to 2 lbs total
  • - Garlic powder
  • - Onion powder
  • - Salt
  • - Black pepper
  • - Ground sage
  • - Avocado oil or olive oil
  • - Sweet yellow onion thinly sliced
  • - Chicken broth or homemade bone broth

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Bring the pork chops to room temperature by letting them sit for 20-30 minutes. Season both sides generously with salt and let them sit for an additional 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, ground sage, and flour to create a spice rub. Coat the pork chops with the spice rub on both sides.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet or ovenproof stainless steel pan over medium-high heat and add a couple of tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the skillet.
  • Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until they're browned. If they're sticking to the pan, they may not be ready to flip yet.
  • Once seared, add the sliced onions to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the pork chops to a plate. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. If desired, create a pan sauce with the drippings by adding vinegar and honey to the skillet and simmering until thickened.
  • For extra tips, always verify your meat thermometer is calibrated for accurate readings, as this is key to avoiding overcooked pork chops. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, simply substitute with gluten-free flour in your spice rub.
  • Additionally, garnishing with fresh herbs like thyme or parsley not only adds a pop of color to your dish but also enhances the overall flavor. Enjoy your delightful pork chops with your choice of sides for a fulfilling meal!
