Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker sauce, you can add an extra tablespoon of flour to the chicken broth before pouring it in. If you're out of seasoned salt, a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of paprika works well. Lean pork chops are best for this recipe, but feel free to use bone-in chops for added flavor. This dish pairs beautifully with Cheddar Chicken And Mushrooms.

Serve the pork chops over a bed of fluffy Parsley Rice for a delightful meal. Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for added nutrition. For a heartier option, consider serving with crusty bread to soak up the savory sauce. This dish also goes well with a side of roasted potatoes.
