Smothered Pork chops

I LOVE pork chops, and I LOVE gravy. This recipe combines the best of both worlds... pork chops and yummy gravy all in one skillet! I like to serve this with white rice topped with the gravy!

4 bone in pork chops
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper, divided
1 1/2 tsp. herb mixture, divided (see below)
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 large onion, sliced thin
1 green bell pepper, sliced thin
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
2 Tbsp. flour
14 oz can chicken broth

1. Sprinkle pork chops with salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and 1 tsp. herb mixture.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet, brown pork chops 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Remove pork chops, set aside.
4. Add onions and peppers to the skillet. Saute for 3 minutes. Add garlic, saute 1 more minute.
5. Add flour to the vegetable mixture. Stir until it is absorbed by the oil.
6. Slowly stir in chicken broth. Bring to a boil
7. Add pork chops back to the pan, lower heat, cover and cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Herb mixture:
1 Tbsp. dried basil
