Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Season both sides of the boneless pork chops with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add the pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Stir in the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme and all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove any raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
Stir in the heavy cream and mix until fully incorporated. Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom sauce.
Reduce heat to low and cover the skillet. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to sop up the flavorful sauce.
