Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 3 large carrots, sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Season and Sear the Pork Chops:
- Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are browned. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the sliced potatoes and carrots to the skillet. Sprinkle with dried thyme and paprika, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Simmer the Dish:
- Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables and stir to combine. Nestle the seared pork chops back into the skillet, on top of the vegetables.
- Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender and the pork chops are cooked through.
- Add the Cream:
- Stir in the heavy cream or milk, allowing it to warm through for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot, straight from the skillet.
