🥘Ingredients

For the Pork Chops

4 boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Mushroom Gravy

2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt and pepper to taste

👨‍🍳Directions

1Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
2Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and have released their liquid.
4Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat, cooking for 1 minute.
5Slowly pour in chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6Stir in heavy cream and fresh thyme. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
7Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the mushroom gravy over them. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to reheat the chops. Serve immediately.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Creamy Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy

1. Can I use bone-in pork chops for this recipe?

Yes, you can use bone-in pork chops. Just increase the cooking time by a few minutes per side to ensure they are fully cooked. The bone will also add more flavor to the gravy.

2. What type of mushrooms work best?

Cremini mushrooms are a great choice because they have a deeper flavor than white button mushrooms. You can also use baby bella, shiitake, or a mix of wild mushrooms for a richer taste.

3. Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, you can substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative and use coconut cream or a dairy-free heavy cream substitute. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.

4. How do I keep the pork chops from drying out?

The key is not to overcook them. Using an instant-read thermometer is best. Pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. The creamy gravy also helps keep them moist.

5. What should I serve with these pork chops?

This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice to soak up the delicious gravy. A side of steamed green beans or a simple salad also works great.
