Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until they release their moisture and are golden brown.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and fresh lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve the pork chops with the mushroom gravy spooned over the top, alongside your favorite sides.
