Simply The Best Skillet Pork Chops Ever - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 -6 center-cut pork chops (center cut with BONE IN)
salt & pepper
1 1/2 cups chicken broth (OR 1 cup broth & 1/2 cup white wine, if you prefer )
onion powder
ginger powder
2 tablespoons oil, just enough to lightly cover the bottom of pan. I use olive oil, but vegetable oil can be used
Gravy
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon flour
1 dash Gravy Master

Preparation

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.
