Shopping List

Exactly what to grab at the store — whole units, no guessing at "half an onion."

  • 4 bone-in pork chops
  • 1 onion
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • Flour
  • Chicken broth
  • Milk
  • 2 cups rice
  • Seasoning
  • Coleslaw, side

How to Make It

  1. Season chops, sear 3 minutes per side, remove.
  2. Sauté onion and mushrooms 5 minutes; sprinkle flour over, cook 1 minute.
  3. Whisk in broth and milk, simmer until thickened.
  4. Return chops, cover, simmer 15 minutes until tender; serve over rice.
  5. Serve with coleslaw on the side.

No-Time-For-That Tip: Don't rush the gravy step — flour needs that minute in the fat or it tastes raw and pasty.

Swap It: Chicken thighs work with the exact same method if pork chops aren't on sale.
