02 - 1 teaspoon salt
03 - ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
04 - 1 teaspoon paprika
05 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
06 - ½ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
07 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
08 - 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
09 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
10 - 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
11 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
12 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
13 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
→ Cornbread
14 - 1 cup cornmeal
15 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
16 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
17 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
18 - ½ teaspoon salt
19 - 1 cup whole milk
20 - 2 large eggs
21 - ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
# Method:
01 - Set oven temperature to 400°F.
02 - Rub pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
03 - Lightly coat each pork chop with flour, shaking off excess.
04 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops for 3 minutes per side. Remove and keep aside.
05 - In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions until soft and golden, about 7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
06 - Sprinkle up to 2 tablespoons of remaining flour into the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
07 - Whisk in chicken broth gradually, scraping up browned bits. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Bring mixture to a simmer.
08 - Return pork chops and accumulated juices to the skillet. Spoon onions and gravy over chops, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes until pork is tender.
09 - Stir in unsalted butter for a smooth finish to the gravy.
10 - In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, blend milk, eggs, and melted butter. Combine wet ingredients with dry, mixing just until incorporated.
11 - Pour batter into a greased 8-inch baking dish or cast iron skillet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
12 - Plate pork chops smothered with onion gravy and serve alongside warm cornbread.
