Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 medium yellow potatoes
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned, then remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Slice the yellow potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet and cook the potato slices for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they begin to soften. Remove the potatoes and set aside with the pork chops.

Step 4

Thinly slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic cloves. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, then add the mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and add the fresh thyme sprigs. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Return the pork chops and potatoes to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low.

Step 9

Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.

Step 10

Serve the pork chops and potatoes hot, spooning the mushroom sauce over the top. Garnish with additional thyme if desired.
