The pork chops are pan-fried to golden perfection and then simmered in a rich and savory mushroom sauce.

Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
3.1 Prepare the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3.2 Sear the Pork Chops: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
3.3 Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
3.4 Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until the sauce is smooth. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
3.5 Finish the Dish: Stir in the heavy cream and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return the pork chops to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through.
3.6 Serve: Serve the pork chops immediately with the mushroom sauce spooned over top. Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor: Add a splash of red wine to the sauce.
- Make it heartier: Serve the pork chops with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.
- Use different mushrooms: Try using a variety of mushrooms, such as shiitake, oyster, or button mushrooms.
