Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
• 1.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 teaspoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the pork chops in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, releasing any browned bits.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and tender.

Step 10

Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
