Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release moisture and start to brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the heavy cream and return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the pork chops cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt and pepper.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
