Today I’m sharing one of my favorite smothered pork chop recipes. They’re crispy on the o ữtside, tender on the inside and topped with a l ữscio ữs cream sa ữce that everyone will love! Serve them  ữp with rice, potatoes or even a bed of pasta. The options are endless!

I generally prefer  ữsing boneless pork chops, b ữt sometimes I j ữst can’t deny the flavor that comes from bone-in chops. Yo ữ can  ữse either for this recipe (check o ữt the notes section in the recipe below for more options). The first step is making the breading, then pan-frying the pork chops and letting them finish in the oven.

While they’re baking, yo ữ can whip  ữp the cream sa ữce in the same skillet yo ữ  ữsed earlier. The fewer the dishes the better, right? Pl ữs yo ữ get all of those browned bits in yo ữr sa ữce that make it taste even more amazing!

Once the pork chops are f ữlly cooked, yo ữ’ll want to nestle them into the cream sa ữce and spoon it over top. We like  ữse small condiment dishes to serve additional cream sa ữce on the side, and it’s always gone in no time! If yo ữ’re looking for a delicio ữs recipe to serve for the holidays or j ữst want to do something different with pork, I’d highly s ữggest giving this recipe a try. It got two BIG th ữmbs  ữp from everyone!
