How to Make Pork Chops With Creole Onions And Pan Sauce

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and seared.
  3. Remove pork chops from skillet and set aside. Reduce heat to medium.
  4. Add butter to the skillet and melt. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Stir in Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  6. Pour in chicken broth (or white wine) and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Return pork chops to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Serve immediately, spooning the delicious Creole onion pan sauce over the pork chops. Garnish as desired (fresh parsley is a nice touch).
