Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork loin chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion
- 8 ounces mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork loin chops with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onion and cook until softened and lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and fresh thyme leaves, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom-onion mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually stir in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Stir in the heavy cream and mix well. Return the pork loin chops to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over the top.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the pork chops simmer in the gravy for 8-10 minutes until the chops are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the pork chops hot, smothered in the mushroom onion gravy. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
