We were on the new Phoenix TV show Valley Dish recently.  In the show we made two recipes; Aunt Judy's Pork Chops and Smashed Garlic Potatoes.  We would love to share the recipes with you.    If you are not a fan of pork chops, you can easily substitute chicken for this recipe. 

Aunt Judy’s Pork Chops
Servings: 4

4 Pork loin chops bone-in , cut ½ to ¾ -inch thick
1 tsp Penzey’s Pork Chop seasoning (or use extra garlic, and your favorite herb)
½ tsp Kosher salt
¼ tsp White Pepper
¼ tsp Garlic powder
¾ cup All purpose flour, divided
1-2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Chicken broth
½ cup Half and half or milk

Season both sides of pork chops with Pork Chop seasoning, salt, white pepper, and garlic powder. Remove 1 tablespoon of flour and set aside. Lightly dredge chops in remaining flour.

Heat extra virgin olive oil in non stick frying pan. Sauté pork chops about 3 minutes per side (they should be nice and golden brown on each side). Stir in chicken broth and let simmer until chops are done – depending on how thick they are – about 10 minutes (internal temperature of the pork chops should be about 145°).

Remove pork chops from the pan. Stir together half and half with the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour until all lumps are removed. Add the half and half mixture and stir to make a sauce (carefully scraping the bottom of the pan to get all the good stuff). Put pork chops back in and heat together for 1 or 2 minutes. Serve over garlic smashed potatoes.

If you would like to purchase Penzey's pork chop seasoning, shop in person at Penzey's at 3310 N. Hayden Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 480-990-7709 or visit their website at www.penzeys.com.
