SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS IN A SAVORY PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Place your pork chops onto a work surface, and using a meat mallet, give each a light pounding to tenderize the meat slightly.
• To a small ramekin, add the paprika, granulated garlic and onion, and the white pepper.
• Season the pork chops by sprinkling over each a couple of good pinches of salt and black pepper, then sprinkle over about half of the seasoning mixture in the ramekin; flip the chops and season the other side with a couple more pinches of salt and black pepper, plus the rest of the seasoning mixture in the ramekin.
• Add the heaping 1/2 cup of flour to a large bowl or platter, and dredge both sides of each pork chop in the flour, gently pressing, to coat; shake off any excess flour, and lay onto a plate to hold.
• Place a large heavy bottom pan or skillet over medium high heat, and add in about 1/4 cup of oil, or enough to sear the chops; once the oil is hot, add in 2 pork chops (work in batches), and allow to sear on that first side for 4 minutes, until deeply golden-brown, then flip and sear on the second side for 3 minutes; remove from pan and place onto a plate to hold, and repeat the process with the remaining pork chops.
• Wipe any excessively burned bits out of the pan, then add in the butter, along with about 2 tablespoons of the oil; once the butter is melted, add in the onions, along with a couple of pinches of salt and pepper, plus the Italian seasoning, and caramelize those until golden-brown, about 10 minutes.
• Deglaze the onions with the wine (if using), and allow it to reduce for a moment; add in the garlic and stir to combine, allowing the garlic to become aromatic.
• Next, sprinkle in the 2 tablespoons of flour and stir to combine with the onions, cooking this mixture together for about 30 seconds; next, whisk in the chicken stock/broth.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low or low, and allow the sauce to simmer for a 30 seconds - 1 minute; then, carefully nestle each pork chop into the sauce, and insert a digital thermometer lengthwise, or horizontally, into the center of the thickest chop (the probe will go sideways rather than up and down).
• Generously spoon some sauce over each pork chop, and allow things to gently simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the thermometer registers 145°; turn off the heat.
• Allow the smothered pork chops to rest for about 10 minutes in the pan, then garnish with the fresh thyme leaves before serving with either rice or mashed potatoes

CREAMY GARLIC PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Take the pork chops out of the fridge 15-30 minutes prior to starting the recipe if possible. Season the pork generously with salt & pepper on both sides.
• In a deep skillet, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes, and once it's hot, cook the pork chops for 3-5 minutes/side or until golden (3 minutes for thinner chops and 5 minutes for pork chops up to 1" thick). Once the pork chops are done searing, transfer them to a plate.
• Add the remaining butter and the garlic cloves to the skillet. Turn the heat down to medium (or medium-low if using cast iron). Cook it, stirring fairly often, for about 3 minutes or until the garlic has somewhat browned on the outside.
• Push the garlic to one side of the pan and sprinkle the flour in (avoiding the garlic). Let it cook for around 30 seconds, and give it a stir so it's incorporated with the butter (we're making a quick roux).
• Add in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir and let it cook for about a minute or until the sauce is noticeably thickened.
• Add in the cream and garlic powder. Stir or whisk it until the garlic powder has dissolved.
• Add the pork back in and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened up a bit (let the sauce bubble a bit but not furiously boil) and the pork chops are fully cooked through (145F minimum). Keep in mind the pork's temperature will continue to rise once you stop cooking it, so if it's close, I'd take it off the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Season the sauce with extra salt & pepper as needed and parsley if you wish.
