Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. When melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the asparagus and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is tender and the mushrooms are browned. Remove vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the pork chops, asparagus, and mushrooms to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer everything together for about 5 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F).
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
