Pork Chop Supreme: A Flavorful Classic

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Season and Sear the Pork Chops

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Sauce

In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and thyme. Mix until smooth and heated through.
Step 4: Combine and Bake

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
