5 from 1 vote
Creamy pork chops with sour cream sauce made in one skillet. Juicy seared pork chops simmer in a garlicky sour cream gravy with green onion and paprika. Ready in about 30 minutes.
1green onion, finely chopped (plus extra for serving)
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
14 oz sour cream
⅓ tspblack pepper
½ tsp paprika
Instructions
Season pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet and sear pork chops for 4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, add green onion and garlic, and sauté for 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the skillet cool for 30 seconds. Stir in the soy sauce, sour cream, black pepper, and paprika until smooth. Return the skillet to low heat and do not let the sauce boil.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cover and cook gently over low heat until the pork reaches 145°F (63°C), about 10 to 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the chops. Do not let the sauce boil.
Remove from the heat, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes, then garnish with green onion and serve.
Notes
Use full-fat sour cream for the smoothest sauce. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before adding.
Turn off the heat for about 30 seconds before stirring in the sour cream, then cook only over low heat. Do not let the sauce boil.
Cooking time depends on the thickness of the pork chops. Cook until the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C).
If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in a small splash of water or chicken broth.
