Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 1 cup Sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.
Slice the yellow onion into thin rings and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the onion and mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and fresh thyme leaves. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens slightly.
Add the heavy cream to the gravy and stir well to combine. Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning as needed.
Place the seared pork chops in the slow cooker. Pour the gravy over the pork chops and top with the sautéed onion and mushroom mixture.
Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
