Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl mix together the seasoning salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder. Season each pork chop liberally with the spice mixture. Add the flour to a small bowl and stir in the remaining spice mixture. Dredge the chops in the flour, shaking off the excess.

• Remove from the skillet to a plate and set aside. Add the thyme, onion, garlic and 1 to 2 tablespoons of the seasoned flour and cook until slightly caramelized, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the stocks and with a wooden spoon scrape up any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the chops back to the pan and cover. Put in the oven and bake until tender and the sauce has thickened, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the chops and sauce to a platter and serve.

Steps:

• Place the pork chops one at a time in a plastic bag or between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound the pork chops to about 1/2 inch thick. Generously season each side of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
• In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat both sides of the pork chops in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Reserve the flour mixture.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook about 3 minutes per side; remove and set aside. Add the onions and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until translucent and tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional minute. Stir in the reserved flour mixture and cook, stirring, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a low boil. Return the chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Reduce the temperature to low, cover and cook 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the flour in a shallow platter and add the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture and then dredge them in the seasoned flour; shaking off the excess.
• Heat a large saute pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is nice and hot, lay the pork chops in the pan in a single layer and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the pan and add a little sprinkle of seasoned flour to the pan drippings. Mix the flour into the fat to dissolve and then pour in the chicken broth in. Let the liquid cook down for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly. Stir in the buttermilk to make a creamy gravy and return the pork chops to the pan, covering them with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
