1-First, prepare all ingredients by seasoning the pork chops with half the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to ensure they cook evenly and stay tender.

2-Second, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then set them aside. Using a wooden spoon for this step helps with deglazing and enhances flavor.

3-Third, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet, deglaze with ¼ cup chicken broth, and cook the sliced onions for 8-10 minutes until browned and tender.

4-Fourth, sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir until it thickens, then add the remaining broth, ground sage, and the rest of the salt. Simmer for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens nicely.

5-Fifth, return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them in the gravy, and cook for an additional 2-6 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. For a similar dish idea, check out our easy chicken spaghetti recipe for more protein-based meals.
