Instructions
For the chops
Step 1
SEASON In a shallow dish, mix together flour with garlic powder and chili powder. Coat pork chops in flour, shaking off excess flour. Keep about 1-2 tablespoons of the flour to use later in the gravy.
all purpose flour1 c
garlic powder2 tsp
chili powder¼ tsp

Step 2
FRY chops in oil and butter to get the best, golden brown coating and flavours. If they don’t all fit in your skillet to cook them in a single layer, you will need to cook them in batches.
vegetable oil¼ c
Step 3
REMOVE chops from the pan and tent with foil to keep warm so you can make your oven gravy!
For the gravy
Step 4
SAUTÉ onion slices until soft and caramelized. This takes about 10 minutes. If the pan becomes too dry, add in about 1 tablespoon of chicken broth.

Step 5
ADD garlic, thyme AND 1 tablespoon of the remaining flour to the pan. Cook the flour in the pan to toast it and dissolve it, which ensures your gravy doesn’t have a floury aftertaste.
fresh thyme
all purpose flour1 c
Step 6
POUR in some chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan = FLAVOUR!
low-sodium chicken broth1 ½ c
Step 7
WHISK in the buttermilk or heavy (thickened) cream. If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 3/4 cup milk with 3 teaspoons white vinegar and let it sour for 5 minutes so it looks a bit curdled.

Step 8
SIMMER and return your chops to the pan, then SMOTHER them in the sauce and let it all simmer together until the pork is completely cooked through and the gravy is beautifully thickened.
