Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Lightly coat each pork chop with the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. When the butter has melted and is sizzling, add the pork chops to the skillet.
Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. You don't need to cook them through at this stage. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion, cooking for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and the onions are softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any flavorful brown bits. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme leaves (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve the pork chops hot with the gravy spooned over the top. Suggest serving with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious gravy.
