Pork Chop Reicpes with sauces?
My boyfriend does not like pork chops, but has started to eat them when they have sauces and coatings on them because it hides the flavor he says. Any good and/or unique recpies?

These are really great - my bf loves them and they are pretty easy to make!
Pork Chops with Mustard Bourbon Sauce
4 center-cut, bone-in, rib pork chops (about 3 pounds)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup bourbon
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, for about 1 minute or until the surface of the pan is uniformly hot. Pat the chops dry, and season the chops on one side with salt and pepper. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the chops seasoned side down and cook until the chops are brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the butter and cook for 1 minute more. Season the top side of the chops, and turn the chops over. Continue cooking until firm and an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees F, about 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer the chops to a plate, tent with foil and set aside to rest.
Pour off any fat remaining in the skillet. Pull the pan from the heat and carefully add the bourbon. Return the pan to the heat and tip the pan slightly to ignite the alcohol. Cook until reduced by half then add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 3 minutes, then whisk in the mustard and the cream. Simmer the sauce until it coats the back of a spoon, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve with the pork chops.
Enjoy!!!
these are awesome, trust me. sometimes i put sliced mushrooms (sauteed in a bit of butter and oil) in the sauce.
Smothered Pork Chops
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 pork chops, 3/4-inch thick, bone-in
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup buttermilk
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
Put the flour in a shallow platter and add the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture and then dredge them in the seasoned flour; shaking off the excess.
Heat a large saute pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is nice and hot, lay the pork chops in the pan in a single layer and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove the pork chops from the pan and add a little sprinkle of seasoned flour to the pan drippings. Mix the flour into the fat to dissolve and then pour in the chicken broth in. Let the liquid cook down for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly. Stir in the buttermilk to make a creamy gravy and return the pork chops to the pan, covering them with the sauce.
Simmer for 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Believe it or not a can of apple puree baby food will make a wonderful topping.
Brown chops on both sides, salting and peppering as you go; add quartered yellow or red potatoes to frying pan and pour a can of cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery, etc., over all. Cover and cook over low/medium (a soft simmer is what you are going for) for approx. 1/2 hour. Delicious and easy.
