Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Chops

    Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork Chops

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onions and Garlic

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the heavy cream, thyme, and paprika, stirring to combine. Let cook for 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Thicken the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the sauce, stirring constantly until thickened.

  6. 6

    Return the Pork Chops

    Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the pork is cooked through and tender.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the smothered pork chops hot, drizzled with the creamy sauce.
