Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in pork chops thick-cut for a juicy and tender result
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend

Instructions
 

  • Pat your bone-in pork chops dry with a paper towel, and then season them with salt and black pepper on both sides. 
  • Lightly coat each chop in flour for a golden brown crust and shake them gently to remove any excess flour. 
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the skillet is hot but not smoking.
  • Carefully place the seasoned thick-cut pork chops in the skillet to get a good sear. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown, and then transfer them to a plate.
  • In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions become soft.
  • Pour in the cream of mushroom soup, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth. Stir them well to create a rich onion gravy at the bottom of the pan.
  • Place the browned pork chops back into the pan, cover it with a lid, and simmer over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes until the bone-in chops are cooked through. 
  • Spoon the rich onion gravy over your juicy pork chops, and feel free to serve them over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or white rice, or pair them with green beans for a complete and delicious main dish.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to make sure their internal temperature reaches a safe level for pork. It should read 145°F (63°C).
