Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick) Seasoned with salt and black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For searing the pork chops
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (like cremini or button) Adds flavor to the sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Enhances the aroma and flavor
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme Provides earthy flavor
  • ½ cup chicken broth Base for the sauce
  • ½ cup heavy cream Makes the sauce creamy
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by seasoning both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Set them aside.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. Add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once finished, transfer them to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are softened. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes before adding the heavy cream. Stir the sauce and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
  5. Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the mushroom sauce over the top to coat them well. Allow them to cook for another minute to heat through.
  6. Plate the pork chops, drizzle with the mushroom sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on low heat in a skillet. You can add a splash of extra cream or broth if the sauce seems too thick.
