Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 cup green chiles (roasted, diced)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the green chiles and stir for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and stir well to create a roux, cooking for 1 minute.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking to combine and avoid lumps.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the green chile sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving, if desired.

Step 10

Serve the green chile pork chops hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
