Smothered Pork Chops Ingredients

I always start with a brine because pork chops are pretty lean and need extra moisture. The brine takes at least 2 hours. You can skip this step if you like, but I definitely recommend it.

Brine for the Pork Chops

• 4 full cups of lukewarm water
• ¼ cup of salt
• 4 pieces of pork chops (1 pound)

Dredge for Pork Chops

• 2 full cups of buttermilk
• 1 full cup of all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• ½ teaspoon of cayenne
• Oil for frying

Gravy

• 1 onion cut or sliced
• 2 full cups of chicken stock
• ¼ cup of oil
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• ¼ cup flour from pork chops
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 tspof black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme

Directions To Make Smothered Pork Chops

Step 1: In a container, add water and salt for the brine. Let the salt dissolve in the water, and then put pork chops in it.

Step 2: Put the brine with pork chops in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. Let the pork chops soak the brine.

Step 4: Take the pork chops off the skillet and put them on a plate.

Step 6: Add ¼ cup of oil to the skillet and let it become heated. Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook them on a medium heat for about 15 minutes.

Step 7: Once the onions are properly caramelized, remove from skillet.

Step 8: Add butter and let it melt. Then add ¼ cup of flour from the fried pork chops breading.

Step 9: Whisk for several minutes.

Step 10: Add chicken stock and whisk for several minutes to combine all of the flour and to remove any clumps.

Step 11: Add black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and salt.

Step 12: Whisk all the ingredients together for a few minutes until the gravy starts to thicken.

Step 13: After about 5 minutes, add pieces of pork chops to the skillet and layer the gravy over the piece of pork chops.
