Ingredients

• 6 loin pork chops
• 1 ½ tsp. onion powder
• 1 ½ tsp. garlic powder
• 1 ½ tsp. smoked paprika
• 1 tsp. salt (really to taste)
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. cayenne
• 2 tsp. seasoning mixture
• ½ c. flour and ⅓ c. flour
• 1 celery stalk, diced
• 1 med. onion, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper,
• 1 orange bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 4 c. chicken broth
• 1 tsp. seasoning

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• Mix all seasoning together; reserve 2 teaspoons for flour and 1 teaspoon for gravy.
• Combine ½ c. flour with the 2 teaspoons of reserved seasoning.
• Season pork chops liberally with remaining seasoning.
• In a large pan, preheat about ½ inch vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
• Coat pork chops with seasoned flour; shaking off any excess. Fry chops for about 3 minutes on first side and 2 minutes on the other side or until golden brown. Drain chops on paper towel or brown paper bag.
• Once removing pork chops, drain most of oil; leaving about ¼ cup in skillet.
• Over medium-high heat, saute celery, onion, bell peppers and garlic for about 3 minutes. Stir in ⅓ cup of flour to make a roux and cook for a few minutes or until browned.
• Whisk in the chicken broth; breaking up the flour lumps. Add remaining teaspoon of seasoning. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
• Add chops to gravy. Make sure to cover entirely with gravy. Cover the pan and cook in preheated oven for about 1.5-2 hours or until tender. Serve over rice. Say Grace and enjoy!!
