Pork Chops with Mushroom Cream Sauce

Pork chops with mushroom cream sauce is a delicious and hearty dish that’s perfect for a cozy dinner. Here’s a simple recipe you can try:

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in pork chops
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Season the pork chops: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear the pork chops: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the aromatics: In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Add minced garlic and chopped onion. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
5. Make the sauce: Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the broth to simmer and reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Then, stir in heavy cream and dried thyme. Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly, about 5-6 minutes.
6. Return pork chops to the skillet: Once the sauce has thickened, return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over the pork chops. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for another 5-6 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
7. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. You can serve the pork chops with mushroom cream sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta, along with your favorite vegetable side dish.

8. Enjoy!
