Pork Chops with sour cream sauce

Usually Thomas is the one who makes/grills the pork chops.  Today I cooked them.  Just by looking at them, Thomas said that it reminded him of a dish his parents made (in Germany) called Paprika Schnitzel.  We both enjoyed the dish a lot.  Even before I added the spices, it smelled incredible!

Wash and pat dry four pork chops (about 3/4 inch thick).  Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet and brown the pork chops, cooking 4-6 minutes on each side. 

Add one onion, thinly sliced; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp caraway seeds; 1/2 tsp paprika; 1/4 tsp garlic powder with 2/3 cup water.

Simmer, covered, for 50 minutes or until chops are tender.
Remove the pork chops, keep warmed on a separate plate.
Whisk in 2/3 cup sour cream, heat, and incorporate until smooth; don't let the sauce boil, though.
Return the pork chops in the sauce.
The sauce is excellent with baked potatoes, but pasta and rice would also be yummy.  With this meal I served green beans, too.
