Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup baby carrots
• 2 cups red potatoes, cubed

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear each pork chop for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Add the butter to the same skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the sliced onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.

Step 5

Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and thyme leaves, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Return the pork chops to the skillet, covering them with the sauce and vegetables. Add baby carrots and cubed red potatoes around the pork chops.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the pork chops are fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F) and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve the pork chops hot, spooning the sauce, onions, mushrooms, and vegetables over the top. Garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired.
