Delicious Pork Chops with Creamy Mushroom Sauce Recipe

This recipe uses either bone-in or boneless pork chops, sautéed with fresh mushrooms, garlic, and onions, then finished with a creamy sauce. It takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
• 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream or chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear the Pork Chops: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream or chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Combine: Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
7. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve hot with your choice of sides.
