This savory pork chops and gravy recipe is a lightened version of the Southern-style classic. Plus, you can use the simple gravy technique in a number of other dishes.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chop and 1/2 cup gravy)
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (about 1 ounce)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
- 4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (about 3/4 inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Cooking spray
- 1 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
Preparation
Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Place flour, salt, dried marjoram, dried thyme, and dried rubbed sage in a shallow dish. Dredge pork in flour mixture, turning to coat; shake off excess. Reserve remaining flour mixture.
Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add pork to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Reduce heat, and cook for 10 minutes or until done, turning pork once. Remove pork from pan; keep warm.
Combine reserved flour mixture and milk in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until blended. Add milk mixture to pan; place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Reduce heat, and simmer 2 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly. Serve with chops.

My fiance grew up in the south so he often misses a good southern meal. He LOVED this (so did I). Whenever I cook pork on the stovetop it ends up dry, but with this recipe it was moist and flavorful. I wouldn't change a thing about the recipe. Served with mashed potatoes and green veggie.08/27/10

Excellent! I used bone-in pork chops and it worked great. I also did 3/4 1% milk and 3/4 cup whole milk. Healthy(er) comfort food!06/23/10
