Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless) Choose pork chops of even thickness for even cooking.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button) Any type of mushrooms can be used.
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter version.
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried)
  • as needed Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the pork chops dry and season them with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer them to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, cook the chopped onion for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and sauté until browned. Then stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Cooking
  1. Deglaze the pan with the chicken broth. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and butter. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Return the pork chops to the skillet. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  3. Garnish with thyme and parsley.

Notes

Serve with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Other vegetables like spinach or asparagus can be added for extra nutrition.
