Creamy Mushroom Pork Chops with Garlic and Thyme Sauce 🍄🐖
Ingredients 🛒
For the Pork Chops:
4 bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
For the Sauce:
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Fresh thyme sprigs (for garnish)
Directions 👩🍳
1️⃣ Prepare the pork chops:
Pat the pork chops dry using a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2️⃣ Sear the pork chops:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until they are golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
3️⃣ Make the mushroom sauce:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant, about 1 minute. Then, add the mushrooms and cook until they are softened and browned, around 5 minutes.
4️⃣ Create the creamy sauce:
Incorporate the heavy cream, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
5️⃣ Combine:
Return the pork chops to the skillet and ladle the sauce over them. Allow to simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until the pork chops are fully cooked and tender.
6️⃣ Serve:
Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and serve warm alongside mashed potatoes or rice.
