Ingredients

2 tbsp (30 mL) flour
1 tbsp (15 mL) French Onion Dip Seasoning Mix
1 tsp (5 mL) salt
½ tsp (2 mL) black pepper
4 thick-cut bone-in pork chops (about 2 lbs. or 1 kg)
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil

2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
1 large onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 tbsp (30 mL) flour
2 cups (500 mL) low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup (250 mL) heavy cream
1 tbsp (15 mL) French Onion Dip Seasoning Mix
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Combine the flour, seasoning, salt, and pepper. Coat the pork chops with the flour mixture.
Heat the oil in the 4.5 qt. (4.3 L) Stainless Steel Saute Pan over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Sear the pork chops on both sides until golden-brown, about 3 minutes per side. (The pork won’t be fully cooked.) Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until browned, about 5–6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Sprinkle in the flour. Stir to coat the onions and garlic, and continue cooking for 2–3 minutes. Pour in the broth gradually, whisking constantly. Simmer until it starts to thicken, about 5–6 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the cream and seasoning. Stir to combine and simmer until it’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Return the pork chops to the pan along with any juices. Simmer on low heat, uncovered, for 15–20 minutes, or until they reach 145°F (63°C), flipping occasionally. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice and any green vegetables.
