Arrange potatoes, carrots, onions and peas in a shallow 2-quart
casserole large enough to hold pork chops in a single layer.

Brown chops slowly on both sides in oil and margarine in large
skillet. Arrange over vegetables in single layer.

Drain off all but 2 tbsp. pan drippings from skillet. Add flour,
instant chicken broth, salt and pepper; let bubble 1 minute;
gradually stir in water.  Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture
thickens slightly. Pour over chops.  Cover tightly with aluminum
foil.

Bake in a oven (350 F) for 45 minutes.  Remove foil; continue baking
an additional 15 minutes, or until the chops and the vegetables are
tender. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped
parsley.
