Directions
- Pat pork chops dry and let come to room temperature. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Preheat No. 14 Skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add canola oil and heat until shimmering. Add pork chops and sear on each side until deeply golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove to a platter to rest.
- Add butter and onion to the skillet, stirring to scrape up the brown bits that have accumulated on the bottom. Reduce heat to medium low and cook until onions are very soft and lightly caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in garlic, cayenne, and curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in chicken broth, cream, and thyme. Let simmer until the gravy begins to reduce and thicken, about 3-5 minutes. Return pork chops to the pan and let simmer until hot and cooked through, about 3 minutes longer.
- Garnish with additional thyme and cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
