Equipment
- Large skillet or frying pan
- Tongs or spatula
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Knife and cutting board
- Spoon for stirring
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops you can use boneless if you prefer
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup sour cream
- ¼ cup chicken broth or white wine for a deeper flavor
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft and fragrant.
- Add chicken broth (or white wine for a richer flavor) to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in sour cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and paprika. Mix well and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over the chops. Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the pork is fully cooked and tender.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious sour cream pork chops!
Notes
After cooking, let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes. This helps redistribute the juices, making the chops more flavorful.
