What You’ll Need
- 2 lb. Prairie Fresh® boneless pork chops
- 2 yellow onions (finely sliced)
- 4 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon flour
- sliced provolone
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese (shredded)
- 2 cups chicken stock
- fresh thyme (for garnish, optional)
- crusty bread (for serving)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a cast iron skillet add half the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onion and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat then reduce heat to medium/medium-low and cook for an additional 15 minutes to caramelize the onions.
- While those cook, place the pork chops on a plate and season with salt, pepper and spices.
- Once the onions are caramelized, transfer to a plate.
- Turn the heat back up to medium and add the pork chops. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, then transfer to a plate.
- Return the onions to the skillet, add the remaining olive oil, and sprinkle with flour.
- Stir to combine. Add the chicken stock 1 cup at a time and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add pork back into the skillet and top each pork chop with a slice provolone and sprinkle with gruyere cheese.
- Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the pork is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
- Remove from heat and top with fresh sprigs of thyme. Enjoy!
