Smothered Pork Chops with Onion Gravy

Instructions

1. 1

   Start the rice according to the package directions.

2. 2

   Season the chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika, then dust them lightly with 1 tbsp of the flour.

3. 3

   Sear the chops in the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until browned, then move them to a plate (they will finish cooking later).

4. 4

   Lower the heat to medium, add the butter and thinly sliced onions, and cook 8 minutes until soft and golden, scraping up the browned bits.

5. 5

   Sprinkle in the remaining 2 tbsp flour and stir for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in the broth and simmer 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens.

6. 6

   Return the chops to the pan, spoon gravy over them, cover and simmer 6-8 minutes until they reach 145°F.

7. 7

   Serve over rice with plenty of gravy; spoon gravy without onions onto plates for picky eaters.
