Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 cups white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 pieces aluminum foil sheets
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Prepare 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap a single pork chop and accompanying ingredients.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the salt, ground black pepper, and paprika. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Place each pork chop on a sheet of foil. Drizzle each chop with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle 1/4 of the minced garlic on top.
Step 5
Divide the sliced mushrooms evenly among the four foil sheets, arranging them on top and around each pork chop. Add 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each portion of mushrooms.
Step 6
Optionally, add a sprig of fresh thyme on each pork chop for added flavor.
Step 7
Fold the sides of the foil up and over the pork chop and mushrooms, crimping the edges tightly to seal the packet completely. This ensures the steam will stay trapped during cooking.
Step 8
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 9
Carefully remove the foil packets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before opening. Be cautious of the hot steam when unsealing the packets.
Step 10
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired. Enjoy!
