Indulge in the comforting elegance of Pork Loin Chops in Mushroom Gravy, a hearty dish that combines juicy, golden-seared pork chops with a rich, velvety gravy brimming with the earthy flavors of sautéed mushrooms, sweet caramelized onions, and a touch of heavy cream. This one-skillet recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners yet impressive enough for special occasions. The savory mushroom gravy, thickened with a hint of flour and enriched with chicken broth, perfectly complements the tenderness of the pork, while a sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a vibrant finish. Ready in under 45 minutes, this crowd-pleasing meal is best served over creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or alongside roasted vegetables for a comforting and satisfying dining experience.
Pat the pork loin chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and beginning to turn golden.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushroom and onion mixture. Stir well to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and season the gravy with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the pork loin chops smothered in mushroom gravy. Enjoy with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables on the side.
