Instructions
Mix the salt and pepper together and sprinkle over both sides of the pork chops. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the oil and swirl to coat the skillet. Add the pork chops and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove pork chops from the skillet and cover to retain heat.
Remove the skillet from the heat and reduce the temperature to medium-low. Mix the flour together with the Italian seasoning, pepper, garlic, onion, and chili powder in a small bowl.
Add the butter to the skillet. When melted, add the flour mixture and whisk to combine.
Stir and cook the mixture for two minutes to cook out the flour taste. Pour in the chicken stock and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
Allow the gravy to thicken slightly then pour in the buttermilk. Whisk to combine then return the pork chops to the skillet, flip to coat with the gravy.
Cover the skillet and continue to cook the pork chops until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
Serve the pork chops covered in gravy with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish and garnished with chopped parsley.
Notes
If gravy thickens too much, simply add additional stock or cream to thin.
Check the seasoning before serving and adjust if needed.
Choose your own blend of herbs if desired. I chose Italian seasoning because is contains all of the herbs that go well with pork; marjoram, rosemary, oregano, basil, thyme, savory, and sage.
Actual cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your pork chops.
