🥩 Pork Chops Supreme

Serves: 4
Prep & cook time: ~35 minutes

Ingredients

Pork Chops

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)

• Salt & pepper to taste

• 2 tbsp olive oil

Mushroom Cream Sauce

• 2 tbsp butter

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh)

• ½ cup chicken broth

• 1 cup heavy cream

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

• Salt & black pepper to taste

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

1. Prepare pork chops:
   Season chops with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

2. Make mushroom sauce:
   In the same skillet, melt butter. Sauté onion and garlic 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Add mushrooms and thyme; cook 5–6 minutes until mushrooms are browned.

3. Deglaze & cream:
   Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, and mustard if using. Simmer 3–4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

4. Return pork chops:
   Place pork chops into sauce. Cover and simmer 6–8 minutes until pork is fully cooked (internal temp 145°F / 63°C).

5. Serve:
   Spoon sauce over pork chops. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Tips & Variations

• Extra flavor: Add a splash of white wine when deglazing.

• Low-carb: Serve with cauliflower mash or roasted vegetables.

• Cheesy twist: Top pork chops with Gruyère or mozzarella before serving.

• Make-ahead: Pork can be seared ahead; just reheat in sauce before serving.
