05 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
06 - ½ cup all-purpose flour, divided (for dredging and gravy)
07 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
08 - 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
09 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
10 - 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
11 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
12 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or ½ teaspoon dried thyme

18 - ½ teaspoon salt
19 - 1 cup whole milk
20 - 2 large eggs
21 - ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
# Method:
01 - Set the oven to 400°F and prepare an 8-inch baking dish by greasing it.
02 - Season pork chops evenly with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder on both sides.
03 - Lightly coat each pork chop in flour, shaking off the excess.
04 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear pork chops until golden brown, approximately 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
05 - In the same skillet, cook sliced onions until soft and golden, about 7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for one additional minute.
06 - Stir in up to 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour into the onion mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
07 - Gradually whisk in chicken broth, scraping browned bits from the pan. Add Worcestershire sauce and thyme, then bring mixture to a gentle simmer.
08 - Return pork chops and their juices to the skillet. Spoon onions and gravy over them, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes until pork is tender. Stir in butter at the end for a smooth finish.
09 - Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir just until combined.
10 - Pour batter into the greased baking dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11 - Plate pork chops smothered with onion gravy alongside warm cornbread.
