Ingredients for Easy Pork Chops and Gravy:
- Protein: use thinly sliced boneless pork chops for quick cooking
- Seasoning: you will need to use salt, black pepper, dried oregano, Italian seasoning
- Oil: I like to use olive oil or avocado oil in this pork chop recipe
- Butter: use whatever butter you have on hand, preferably unsalted butter
- Flour: all purpose flour will work great for the simple gravy
- Liquid: use chicken broth or chicken stock for the best results
- Cream: a little sour cream will add delicious flavor and creaminess to the savory gravy
How to make Easy Pork Chops and Gravy:
Season the pork chops on both sides with the salt, pepper, and oregano.
Heat a large skillet to medium high heat add in the oil once hot add in the pork chops.
Cook on each side for 2 minutes or until cooked through (will differ depending on how thick your pork chops are).
Once cooked remove to a plate and set to the side.
Make the gravy
To the same skillet the pork chops were cooked in over medium heat add in the butter once melted whisk in the flour.
Slowly whisk in the broth make sure to whisk it in slowly so it doesn’t become clumpy. Sprinkle in the seasonings. Let simmer for 2-4 minutes to thicken slightly whisk in the sour cream.
Add the pork chops back into the pan and coat with the gravy.
How to store leftover pork chops and extra gravy:
Fridge: The leftover pork chops should go in one airtight container and the remaining gravy can be put in another smaller airtight container and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips and tricks for making this tender pork chops recipe:
Pork chops to use:
To keep this recipe to a shorter cooking time, the best way to do that is by using thin-cut pork chops. Avoid using the thick-cut pork chops or bone-in pork chops as those will take a longer time to cook.
Can I make this with chicken?
Yes! If you prefer to make this recipe with chicken go for it! I would suggest using boneless chicken breast in place of the pork chops.
Be sure to adjust the cooking time as chicken will need to cook for longer. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken gets to at least 165 degrees F for safe eating.
What to serve with pork chops:
I enjoy serving this recipe with mashed potatoes and dinner rolls for a hearty meal. It is the perfect way to warm up on these colder winter days.
