Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 8 ounces white button mushrooms (sliced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Allow it to melt, then add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring to avoid burning.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to thicken slightly, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for another 2 minutes to create a creamy consistency.

Step 8

Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them in the mushroom sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the chops cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Serve the pork chops smothered with the creamy mushroom sauce, garnished with fresh thyme leaves if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
