Ingredients

4 large large pork loin steaks
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt , optional
½ teaspoon ground black pepper , optional
3½ tablespoons all-purpose flour , divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion , sliced
1½ cups chicken broth
¼ cup fat free half and half
¼ cup water

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons flour. Coat pork chop with seasoned flour mixture on both sides.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place pork chops in hot skillet and cook for 5 minutes on each side, until well browned. Transfer chops to a plate and set aside.
To make the pan gravy, melt butter in same skillet with the pan drippings. Reduce to medium heat and add onion slices with salt to taste. Cook onions for 15 minutes, until caramelized. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in remaining flour and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes.
Pour chicken broth into skillet, whisking constantly, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour juices that accumulated on plate with pork chops into the sauce. Whisk in half and half and water until smooth. Bring gravy to a low boil, reduce heat to low and simmer sauce for 15 minutes.
Return pork chops to the skillet and spoon gravy over chops to coat. Cover and continue to simmer for 10 minutes, until chops are cooked through.
