If you’ve got a weakness for delicious sauces (like me), then you’ll love this braised pork recipe! My family was literally scraping every last bit of this sauce from the pan and pouring whatever they could spare over their mashed potatoes. And the pork in this recipe could easily be replaced with chicken if you desire. Just be sure to increase the cooking time since a chicken breast is likely to be a lot thicker than a thin pork chop. Enjoy!

Creamy Braised Pork Chops
If you’ve got a weakness for delicious sauces (like me), you’ll love this braised pork recipe! My family was literally scraping every last bit of the sauce
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/4 pounds pork chops, boneless and thin
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
-
In a small bowl mix together the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper until well combined. Sprinkle over both sides of the pork chops until evenly coated.
-
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the pork chops until golden brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
-
Add the heavy cream and the rest of the butter to the pan, turn the heat down to low, and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, until the pork is done all the way through (no longer pink in the middle). Remove the lid and let the sauce thicken for another minute and serve.

What is the green broccoli side dish thingy?
It’s a recipe I am working on for my third cookbook, which is due out in Aug 2018! :)
Looks delicious! What are the sides in the picture?
It’s mashed potatoes along with a broccoli recipe I am working on for my third cookbook, which is due out in Aug 2018! :)
Thanks! I can’t wait for your new book!
I have an almost identical recipe for smothered pork chops that uses buttermilk instead of heavy cream. Before turning up you nose, try it. Surprisingly good!!
I was just thinking that a cup of cream would certainly affect my weight watcher points.lol Love your buttermilk fix.
Yes!! What are the side recipes??

I made this dish, and my family loved it. I did simmer the pork chops for 30 minutes so that they would be tender (and they were). I served the pork chops over brown rice that I added finely chopped fresh parsley to. Steamed peas rounded out the meal. Yummy!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! :)
My daughter can’t have milk. Could I substitute full fat coconut milk be for the heavy cream? Thanks!
We’ve not tried coconut milk in this recipe but it is my typical sub for cream in many recipes. If you give it a try, let us know how it turns out.
