4 boneless pork chops
4 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
2 teaspoons Cajun or Creole seasoning, add salt to taste if the seasoning is salt free
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Combine 3 tablespoons of flour and the Cajun seasoning. Coat the pork chops thoroughly with the seasoned flour.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
When the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until nicely browned.
Remove the chops to a plate and add the butter to the skillet. Add onion, green pepper, and celery and cook, stirring, until the onion is softened. Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes longer.
Add the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Add the pork chops, cover, and reduce heat to low.
Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pork is tender.

Expert Tip: If you are using pork shoulder chops, add 15 to 25 minutes to the braising time.
