Steps:
- Place your pork chops onto a work surface, and using a meat mallet, give each a light pounding to tenderize the meat slightly.
- To a small ramekin, add the paprika, granulated garlic and onion, and the white pepper.
- Season the pork chops by sprinkling over each a couple of good pinches of salt and black pepper, then sprinkle over about half of the seasoning mixture in the ramekin; flip the chops and season the other side with a couple more pinches of salt and black pepper, plus the rest of the seasoning mixture in the ramekin.
- Add the heaping 1/2 cup of flour to a large bowl or platter, and dredge both sides of each pork chop in the flour, gently pressing, to coat; shake off any excess flour, and lay onto a plate to hold.
- Place a large heavy bottom pan or skillet over medium high heat, and add in about 1/4 cup of oil, or enough to sear the chops; once the oil is hot, add in 2 pork chops (work in batches), and allow to sear on that first side for 4 minutes, until deeply golden-brown, then flip and sear on the second side for 3 minutes; remove from pan and place onto a plate to hold, and repeat the process with the remaining pork chops.
- Wipe any excessively burned bits out of the pan, then add in the butter, along with about 2 tablespoons of the oil; once the butter is melted, add in the onions, along with a couple of pinches of salt and pepper, plus the Italian seasoning, and caramelize those until golden-brown, about 10 minutes.
- Deglaze the onions with the wine (if using), and allow it to reduce for a moment; add in the garlic and stir to combine, allowing the garlic to become aromatic.
- Next, sprinkle in the 2 tablespoons of flour and stir to combine with the onions, cooking this mixture together for about 30 seconds; next, whisk in the chicken stock/broth.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low or low, and allow the sauce to simmer for a 30 seconds - 1 minute; then, carefully nestle each pork chop into the sauce, and insert a digital thermometer lengthwise, or horizontally, into the center of the thickest chop (the probe will go sideways rather than up and down).
- Generously spoon some sauce over each pork chop, and allow things to gently simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the thermometer registers 145°; turn off the heat.
- Allow the smothered pork chops to rest for about 10 minutes in the pan, then garnish with the fresh thyme leaves before serving with either rice or mashed potatoes

SAUTEED SPICE RUBBED PORK CHOPS WITH PAN SAUCE
Steps:
- Make rub: mix all ingredients together in a small bowl or jar (You can store it for a couple of months in a tightly sealed jar.)
- Coat the chops generously with spice rub and let marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. Let refrigerated meat come to room temperature before cooking. Scrape off any excess rub and pat the chops dry.
- In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over high heat. When the pan is hot enough to sear the chops but not burn them, add the chops. They should make a gentle hissing sound when they hit the pan, not an explosive sputter. Adjust the heat if the pan seems too hot or remove the pan from the heat for 30 seconds or so (count this time as part of the overall cooking time). Sear the chops on one side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until beginning to brown lightly. Turn the chops over and sear for 1 minute more.
- Reduce the heat so that the chops continue to sizzle -- do not turn the heat so low that there are no more sizzling sounds (if the heat is too low, the chops will sweat and juices will exude from the meat and leave it dry. Cover the pan and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes more on the other side. The chops are done when the meat is firm but not hard when pressed with a finger. Better still, test them with an instant-read thermometer -- the meat should register 145 to 155 degrees and will still be acceptable at 160 degrees. For the juiciest results, remove the chops from the pan when they register 145 degrees, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes or so before serving, to stabilize the juices.
- To make the pan sauce: pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan, leaving any meat juices. Adjust the heat to medium and add garlic. Stir, cook for 30 seconds, then add remaining ingredients, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce it over high heat until it just turns syrupy. Put the pork chops back into the pan and turn them several times in the sauce to transfer the flavors -- this should take no more than 30 seconds. Serve chops with sauce

Steps:
- Season pork chops on all sides with Montreal steak seasoning.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chops in melted butter until browned and slightly pink in the center, about 7 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Add remaining butter to the pan as needed so that about 3 tablespoons pan drippings remain in the pan when the chops are finished cooking. Transfer pork chops to a plate and return skillet to medium-high heat.
- Mix flour, basil, and beef bouillon together in a bowl. Stir black pepper into skillet with the pan drippings and cook for 1 minute. Add flour mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until browned, about 2 minutes. Pour milk into flour mixture; cook and stir constantly until mixture is thick and bubbly, 4 to 6 minutes. Pour sauce over pork chops and serve.
