Pork Chops with Creamy Sauce

Adapted from Clyde at AllRecipes.com

Ingredients:
3 pork chops
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons paprika

Preparation:


1.  Saute onion and garlic in hot butter.  Remove from skillet.

2.  Trim excess fat from chops and season with salt and pepper.  Brown chops in skillet; pour off fat.

3.  Lower heat, add bay leaf and chicken broth.  Cover and cook for 1 hour on low heat.  Remove from skillet
4.  Return heat to medium and reduce juices in skillet to at least one half their original volume.  Don't let the juices come to a boil. This will take some time, but be patient!
5.  Once juices have reduced, remove bay leaf, and add sour cream, onion and garlic mixture, and paprika, blending thoroughly.  Heat through, but still don't let the mixture boil.

6.  Pour over pork chops and serve

Note: I used chicken stock instead of chicken broth and accidently let it come to a boil during the reducing process.  I don't know if those things had anything to do with it, but I couldn't really get the sauce to come together.  I also used 3 tablespoons of butter, so I reduced it to 2 for the recipe.  It had a lot of oily spots, but still tasted really good, so don't worry, even if this happens to you, it will still taste great!
