The Best Juicy Skillet Pork Chops Food

SIMPLY THE BEST SKILLET PORK CHOPS EVER

Steps:

• Heat the oil & then brown the chops well on both sides in the skillet. Once browned, sprinkle each chop with salt, pepper, onion powder, and ginger powder. Add the broth or the broth/wine combo totaling a cup and a half, reduce heat to low & cover.
• Simmer for approximately 45 minutes. Spoon the pan drippings over the chops for added flavor & moistness while cooking. Serve with rice or noodles.
• For optional gravy: Blend 1/4 cup water and 1 tablespoon flour in small bowl until free of lumps. Add this mixture into the pan liquid and cook over low-med heat, stirring until it has thickened (you can always add a little water at this point if needed). Sometimes I add Gravy Master for color.
• I usually put the chops back into the pan for several minutes once the gravy is done to make sure the dish is hot enough to serve.

SKILLET PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Pat dry pork chops with a paper towel.
• Rub pork chops with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• In a small bowl mix salt, pepper and paprika and rub onto the pork chops. Set aside.
• Place a medium skillet (to which you have a lid for) over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and once it is hot add the pork.
• Cook until golden, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Flip the pork chops to the other side, cook for one minute and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook 5 to 12 minutes (check every 2 minutes after 5 mins), or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. If you do not have a thermometer.
• Transfer pork chops to a plate or cutting board and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes.
• Using the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the cherry tomatoes, sear them until lightly charred, remove and set aside on a plate.
• Add the chicken stock, vinegar, maple syrup, and brown sugar to the skillet, stir and add 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary.
• Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the skillet to remove any bits that stuck to it. Bring the mixture a simmer and cook until reduced by half.
• Taste and adjust for salt, acidity or sweetness.
• Take the skillet off the stove, and when the sauce is no longer simmering, stir in the butter. Discard rosemary.
• Add back the pork chops back into the pan and drizzle some of the sauce on top. Add back the tomatoes.
• Sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley on top and garnish with a few fresh rosemary sprigs before serving.

PAN FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.
• Combine the flour and some cayenne, salt and black pepper. Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, and then set aside on a plate.
• Heat the canola oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the butter. When the butter is melted and the butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 3 pork chops at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook until the chops are golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes (make sure no pink juices remain). Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining pork chops.
• Delicious and simple! Serve with smashed new potatoes.
