Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chops 4 minutes per side until deep golden. Move to a plate.

  3. 3

    Slice the onions thin, add to the same skillet, and cook over medium heat until soft and browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and thyme for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle the flour over the onions, stir for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in the chicken stock until smooth.

  5. 5

    Stir in the heavy cream, return the chops and their juices to the pan, cover, and simmer gently until the pork reaches 145°F, about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Taste the gravy, adjust salt and pepper, and serve the chops smothered with plenty of onions and sauce.
