Smothered Pork Chops
Does anyone know how to make smothered pork chops so they turn out nice and moist like they do in a restaurant? I don't know what I am doing wrong but mine are always dry! Help! Before my hubby gives up on me! :)

My smothered pork chops always get rave reviews. The trick to juicy pork chops is- Don't trim the fat.and don't cook it on high heat. My recipe is for South Louisiana style smothered pork chops. Smothered pork chops may differ from region to region.
Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Set side. Chop a large onion and saute it in a couple tablespoons of olive oil until caramel colored. Sss chops to the pan and brown on both sides. Add equal parts chicken broth and beef broth, just enough to cover the chops. Cover and cook on medium until really tender. More broth can be added as needed. Uncover for the last 5-10 minutes to allow excess moisture to cook out. The end result should be succulent pork chops smothered in onions.

The recipe flare has found for you is a good one. In fact it is how I've made them. One key to cooking is seasoning. The seasonings in this recipe are a little heavy for my family's tastes and I would cut down on them. When following a recipe especially for the first time I will, unless I know for certain that a certain seasoning is to heavy or not to our liking, follow the recipe as written.
After we have eaten my wife and I will discuss the dinner and decide what if any adjustments have to be made to make this recipe ours. Then if I'm the one who cooked the dinner I will make notes on the card and place it in our recipe file.
Recipes such as this one I know for instance that I would need to cut back on the garlic and onion powder. Later I might even experiment with using real garlic and blooming the garlic in the oil then removing the garlic from the oil. This is something for a more experienced cook.
NOTE: With the flour and oil you are making a rue. Be Careful not to burn it. All you need to do when making the rue is cook the raw taste from the flour. This only takes a minute or two.
