Directions
Put the flour in a shallow platter and add the onion powder, garlic powde, cayenne, salt, and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture and then dredge tem in the seasoned flour; shaking off the excess.

Heat a large saute pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat an dcoat with the oil. When the oil is nice and hot, lay the pork chops in the pan in a single layer and fry to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the pan and add a little sprinle of seasoned flour to the pan drippings. Mix the flour into the fat to dissolve and then pour in the chicken broth. Let the liquid cood down for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly. Stir in the buttermilk to make a creamy gravy and return the pork chops to the pan, covering them with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
