🥘Ingredients

For the Pork Chops

4 bone in pork chops about 1 inch thick
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Cream of Mushroom Sauce

1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
1 small onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste

👨‍🍳Directions

1Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
3Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet and saute the mushrooms and onion for about 5 minutes until softened and browned. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
4Pour in the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
5Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 10 to 12 minutes, until the pork chops are cooked through and tender.
6Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the pork chops with the sauce spooned over the top.

For a lighter version you can use low fat cream of mushroom soup and half and half instead of heavy cream. Thick cut pork chops work best to prevent drying out.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Cream of Mushroom Pork Chops

1. Can I use boneless pork chops for this recipe?

Yes you can use boneless pork chops. Just adjust the cooking time slightly as boneless chops usually cook faster. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer and aim for 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. How can I make this recipe dairy free?

To make it dairy free use a dairy free cream of mushroom soup and substitute the heavy cream with full fat coconut milk or a dairy free creamer. Use olive oil or a dairy free butter alternative for sauteing.

3. Can I add other vegetables to the sauce?

Absolutely. Diced bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach work well in this dish. Add them along with the mushrooms and onions for a heartier meal.

4. How do I store and reheat leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave. Add a splash of broth or milk if the sauce thickens too much.

5. What should I serve with these pork chops?

Mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice are classic choices to soak up the creamy sauce. A side of steamed green beans or a simple salad also pairs nicely.
