1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 large yellow onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth

Instructions

1

Season and dredge the chops

Pat the pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper, then dredge each in flour, shaking off the excess.

Sear the chops

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chops 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
3

Caramelize the onions

Add the sliced onions to the same skillet and cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden. Stir in the garlic and smoked paprika.
4

Build the gravy and simmer

Pour in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Return the chops to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until tender.
5
