Ingredients

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (1-inch thick)
• 8 ounces mushrooms (cremini or shiitake recommended), sliced
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup chicken broth or white wine
• Optional: 1 tablespoon olive oil for searing

Instructions

1. Prep the Pork Chops: Season the pork chops generously 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 and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add butter and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are browned and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and fresh herbs, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in chicken broth or white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce slightly.
5. Combine: Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the mushroom sauce over them. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
6. Serve: Plate the pork chops with the mushroom sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy with your choice of side dishes.
