Curried Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 4 pork chops
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 3/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

1. Pat chops dry; season with salt and pepper. Melt butter with oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When bubbling stops, add chops and cook until browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove, place on a plate and cover with foil.
2. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from skillet. Add onion and curry powder. Cook, stirring often, until onion is slightly softened, 2 to 5 minutes. Pour in broth and cream. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
3. Return chops to skillet and cook until liquid is reduced by half and pork chops are cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
