Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Whisk together flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Set aside two tablespoons for the gravy.
  2. Dip each pork chop in buttermilk, ensuring it is fully coated. Dredge in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure coverage.
  3. In a skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon but leave grease in the skillet.
  4. Add vegetable oil and butter to the skillet with the bacon grease. When shimmering, fry the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. In the same skillet, whisk in the reserved flour to create a roux. Gradually add whole milk and chicken broth while whisking until thickened.
  6. Stir in the reserved crispy bacon. Season gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve the crispy pork chops on plates, generously spoon gravy over them, and sprinkle with parsley.
