Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and lightly browned.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and loosen any browned bits. Allow the broth to reduce for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh thyme leaves, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.

Step 8

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the mushroom cream sauce over them. Cover and simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Serve the pork chops topped with the mushroom cream sauce. Pair with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a low-carb meal.
