Ingredients
  

Pork Chops
  • 4 pork chops 1 inch thick, bone-in or boneless
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
Creamy Mushroom Sauce
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme or 1 tsp fresh
  • 0.25 tsp onion powder optional
  • 1 tbsp parsley fresh, chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Tongs
  • Mixing spoon
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Pat pork chops dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear both sides in hot oil until golden. Remove and set aside.
  2. Melt butter in the same skillet, add mushrooms, and sauté until golden. Stir in garlic and cook briefly.
  3. Deglaze with chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Stir in mustard, Worcestershire, thyme, and cream.
  4. Return pork chops to pan, spoon sauce over, and simmer until cooked through (145°F).
  5. Garnish with parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the pork. For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine to the sauce.
