How to Make Pork Chops With Gingersnap Gravy

  1. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  3. Remove pork chops from skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
  4. Pour off excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
  5. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  6. Pour in 1 1/4 cups of chicken broth.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup of gingersnap crumbs, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  8. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the gravy slightly thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  9. Return pork chops to the skillet. If using a baking dish, transfer chops and gravy to a baking dish at this point.
  10. **Option 1 (Skillet):** Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 40 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through.
  11. **Option 2 (Oven):** Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  12. Spoon the gingersnap gravy generously over the pork chops before serving.
