Description
Pork Chops in Garlic Mushroom Sauce is a delicious and savory dish featuring tender pork chops cooked in a creamy garlic mushroom sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the 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 the chops from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and dried thyme, then return the pork chops to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Serve the pork chops topped with the garlic mushroom sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk.
- Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for extra depth of flavor.
