Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x14-inch baking dish.
Mix flour, garlic powder, mustard, paprika, cayenne pepper, celery salt, ground ginger, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper together in a shallow dish.
Dredge pork chops in the flour mixture to coat. Reserve remaining flour mixture.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook pork chops in hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Transfer pork chops to prepared baking dish, reserving any drippings in the skillet.
Stir sherry, water, and brown sugar together until sugar dissolves; pour over pork chops.
Bake in preheated oven until tender and no longer pink in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Move pork chops to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Pour liquid from baking dish into the skillet with reserved drippings.
Place skillet with drippings mixture to medium-low heat. Stir cream into the drippings. Cook and stir, gradually integrating reserved flour mixture, until the mixture begins to thicken.
Serve as a gravy for the pork chops.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling are my top picks for Pork Chops. Chardonnay suits simple chops or chops in a butter or cream sauce, dry riesling complements sweet additions like honey mustard or apples, and pinot noir is a safe bet for pork dishes in general. You could try Bodegan Aniello 006 Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.
Bodega Aniello 006 Pinot Noir
Attractive pale ruby color. With lovely aromas of red fruit such as cranberry and strawberry, along with some hints of roses and earthy minerals. Round tannins and an enhanced minerality, with a beautiful structure and finish.
