    smothered pork chops, parsley, in a black skillet.

     

    This smothered pork chops recipe is one of my most popular recipes on youtube. I love making this recipe during the cold winter months. You can’t beat a plate of smothered pork chops over creamy mashed potatoes on a cold winter night. You just can’t!

    What I love most about these smothered pork chops is the fact that it’s super simple to put together. I love a good simple recipe that isn’t lacking flavor. These smothered pork chops are tender, moist, and packed with flavor.

    These are probably the best pork chops I’ve ever had! Oh and I’ve tried a lot of pork chop recipes.

    Feel free to use boneless or bone-in pork chops for this recipe.

    What are smothered pork chops?

    Smothered pork chops are chops that have been coated with flour, fried, and then smothered with a creamy sauce. Extremely popular in the south, although this Jersey girl loves some smothered pork chops!

    Ingredient’s you’ll need for smothered pork chops:

    • Pork Chops
    • All-Purpose Flour
    • Garlic Powder
    • Oregano
    • Smoked Paprika
    • Chili Powder
    • Shallot
    • Garlic
    • White Wine (optional)
    • Butter
    • Chicken Stock
    • Heavy Cream
    • Salt and Pepper

    How to make smothered pork chops

    This is without a doubt one of the easiest and most delicious recipes you’ll ever make. Here’s all you have to do:

    • Combine the garlic powder, oregano, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Season the pork chops on both sides with the spice mixture, leaving some behind. Season the all-purpose flour with the remaining spice mixture.
    • Coat the pork chops with the seasoned flour and remove any excess flour.
    • Cook the pork chops for 5 minutes on each side in a large skillet with oil over medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
    • Add the garlic and shallots to the skillet and cook for 20 seconds. Add 1 tbsp of the seasoned flour and butter. Whisk and cook for 1 minute.
    • Add the white wine and let it reduce by half. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
    • Stir in the heavy cream and check for seasoning. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
    • Place the pork chops back into the skillet, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the pork chops are fully cooked through.

     

    Why this smothered pork chops recipe is so good:

    • The variety of spices, butter, garlic, and white wine add tremendous amounts of flavor! All the flavors just work together perfectly.
    • This recipe makes fantastic leftovers.
    • Pork chops are sold at most supermarkets, they are also inexpensive but super flavorful.

     

    Top Tip:

    Make sure you cook these pork chops thoroughly. The national pork board recommends cooking pork chops to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.

    Recipe Variations:

    • If you don’t want to add wine, replace it with chicken stock.
    • Adding some crispy bacon and mushrooms will take this recipe to the next level!

     

    What to serve smothered pork chops with?

    Although my favorite way of serving these is with homemade mashed potatoes you may also serve these with some rice,

    4 cheese mac and cheese, honey roasted carrots, and instant pot green beans!

    These smothered pork chops can last up to 3 days in the refrigerator if placed in an airtight container. They will last up to 1 month in the freezer if placed in an airtight container.

      Okay, I don’t have all the ingredients but I’m making this because I have boneless pork chops and most of the ingredients. The only ingredients I don’t have is white wine, heavy cream, shallots. It should still turn out decent
