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, plus up to 2 tablespoons for gravy
07 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
08 - 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
09 - 3 cloves garlic, 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
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Set the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the cornbread.
02 - Season pork chops evenly on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
03 - Lightly coat each pork chop with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
04 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm vegetable oil and sear pork chops until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove chops and set aside.
05 - In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions until tender and golden, approximately 7 minutes, then add minced garlic and cook an additional minute.
06 - Stir in up to 2 tablespoons flour from dredging and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
07 - Gradually whisk in chicken broth, scraping browned bits from the skillet. Incorporate Worcestershire sauce and thyme, then bring mixture to a gentle simmer.
08 - Return pork chops and accumulated juices to the skillet. Spoon onions and gravy over chops, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes until meat is tender. Stir in butter just before serving for a smooth finish.
09 - Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until just combined.
10 - Pour batter into a greased 8-inch baking dish or cast iron skillet. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
11 - Serve pork chops smothered in onion gravy alongside warm cornbread.
