- 4 8-oz Boneless pork chops
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 large Onion (sliced into thin half moons)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1.5 oz Cream cheese (cut into small chunks)
Instructions
-
Season the pork chops on both sides with sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
-
Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear on both sides, about 3 minutes per side without moving, until browned. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and set aside.
-
Reduce heat to medium-low or medium. Using the same dutch oven, saute the sliced onions for 15-20 minutes, until caramelized.
-
Once the onions are caramelized, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Add the minced garlic and thyme leaves to the dutch oven. Saute for about a minute, until fragrant.
-
Add the chicken broth to the dutch oven. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for about 2-3 minutes, until it gets thicker and the volume is reduced by at least 1/4.
-
Remove from heat. Add the cream cheese. Stir in the cream cheese until it melts into the sauce.
-
Return the pork chops to the dutch oven and spoon the sauce and onions over them. Cover with the lid and bake for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through. (Time will vary depending on the thickness of your pork chops - use a thermometer to check and cook to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).)
