Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add the pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce heat to medium. Add unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 6

Sprinkle the fresh thyme and all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove any raw flour taste.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the chicken broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and mix until fully incorporated. Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom sauce.

Step 9

Reduce heat to low and cover the skillet. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to sop up the flavorful sauce.
