Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the boneless pork chops with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  3. Reduce heat, add butter, and sauté the thinly sliced onions for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  4. Sprinkle flour over onions, cook for 2 minutes, then whisk in milk and chicken broth. Cook until thickened.
  5. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, thyme, and paprika until the cheese melts.
  6. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer half the potatoes, half cheese sauce, pork chops, remaining potatoes, and remaining cheese sauce.
  7. Sprinkle reserved cheddar cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  8. Remove foil, bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
