Pork Chop Supreme OMG!

Pork Chop Supreme is a hearty, comforting dish that’s packed with flavor! It’s a one-pan meal that’s easy to make and so satisfying. The combination of juicy pork chops, a creamy sauce, and seasonings will have everyone asking for seconds. Here’s a simple, yet absolutely delicious recipe!

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

• 2 tbsp olive oil (or butter)

• 1 medium onion, sliced

• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken for variation)

• 1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Brown the Pork Chops:

   • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

   • Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are nicely browned. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil or butter.

   • Add the sliced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly browned.

   • Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth, mixing well. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to combine.

3. Add the Pork Chops Back In:

   • Add the pork chops back to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chops.

   • Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).

4. Finish with Sour Cream:

   • Once the pork chops are cooked, stir in the sour cream to make the sauce extra creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

5. Optional Cheese Topping:

   • If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the pork chops during the last 5 minutes of cooking, and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

6. Serve:

   • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve the pork chops with the creamy sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Tips:

• Substitute for Cream of Mushroom Soup: If you prefer a healthier version, you can use a homemade white sauce (milk, butter, and flour) or a low-fat cream of mushroom soup.

• For extra flavor: Add a splash of white wine or a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce for a bright, tangy twist.

• Use pork tenderloin or chops: If you prefer a leaner cut, pork tenderloin works well in this recipe, too!

This Pork Chop Supreme is so easy and so satisfying—it’s the kind of meal you can throw together and know it will be a hit with the whole family. Perfect for cozy dinners! 🍽️😋
