Pork Chops with Country Gravy

I'm a southern girl so anything with gravy is appealing to me.  These pork chops are quick and easy and the gravy is delicious!  We served it with mashed potatoes and a veggie.  My whole family eats it too which is rare because Noah is a picky eater!

Ingredients:
1/4 c. all purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried marjoram
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried rubbed sage
4 (4 oz) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (about 3/4 inch thick)
1 Tbsp butter
Cooking spray
1 1/2 cup 1% milk

Directions:
1.  Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife.  Place flour, salt, and spices in a shallow dish.  Dredge pork in flour mixture, turning to coat; shake off excess.  Reserve remaining flour mixture.
2.  Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat.  Add pork to pan, cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned.  Reduce heat, and cook for 10 minutes or until done, turning pork once.  Remove pork from pan; keep warm.
3.  Combine reserved flour mixture and milk in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until blended.  Add milk mixture to pan; place over medium-high heat.  Bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.  Reduce heat, and simmer 2 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly.  Serve with chops.

Yield:  4 servings
Time: about 30 minutes

Notes from Kitchen of Reality:
-I don't own sage or marjoram, so I only use 1/4 tsp of thyme and we love just that flavor.  It is plenty of spice for us.
