Smothered Pork Chops

I have had my eye on this recipe for a long time, however, anytime I have buttermilk in the house it seems to be used for other things. This time I decided to save some of my buttermilk to use for this recipe. These pork chops were FABULOUS. I served them alongside some mashed potatos (excellent with the leftover gravy) and a salad. I will definitely be making this again.

Smothered Pork Chops

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 pork chops, bone-in
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup buttermilk
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Directions:

Put the flour in a shallow dish and add onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Mix with a fork to combine. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, and dredge both sides in flour mixture shaking off the excess

Heat a large pan over medium heat and coat with oil. Once oil is hot, fry pork chops 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove chops from the pan and add 3 Tbsp of flour mixture to the oil and pan drippings. Use a whisk to combine, and add chicken broth. Simmer broth for 5 minutes allowing it to thicken. Stir in the buttermilk, add chops back to pan, and cover with gravy. Simmer for 5 minutes or until pork is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.
