Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 1 minute to toast the flour.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme leaves. Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Simmer for another 5 minutes to warm the pork chops and allow the flavors to meld.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the pork chops with the mushroom sauce spooned over the top. Perfect with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables on the side!
