Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops, bone-in or boneless
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces Baby bella mushrooms, sliced
• 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Lower the heat to medium, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly browned.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by adding the balsamic vinegar and scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in chicken broth and honey, then let the mixture come to a simmer.

Step 6

Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the balsamic sauce over the chops and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the sauce and stir until melted and glossy.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the pork chops with the mushroom-balsamic sauce drizzled over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
