4 boneless pork chops (2.5 cm thick)
02 -
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
03 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
→ Sauce
04 -
1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

250 ml low-sodium chicken broth

Fresh parsley, finely chopped
# Directions:
01 -
Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
02 -
Heat olive oil 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 from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate the browned bits. Stir in the dried thyme and smoked paprika, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
05 -
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the onion-garlic broth over them. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
06 -
Remove the pork chops from the skillet. Stir butter into the sauce until melted and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.

Place the pork chops on a serving platter, spoon the smothered sauce with onions over the top, and garnish with fresh parsley.

This dish pairs excellently with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or rice to soak up the flavorful sauce.
