🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 4 pieces Pork chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cups Mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, fresh
• 1 tablespoon Flour (all-purpose)
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

3. Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the same skillet and add the sliced onions. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and golden.

4. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and browned. Stir in the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and mushroom mixture, stirring well to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

6. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

7. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

8. Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chops, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).

9. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

10. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
