INGREDIENTS LIST FOR THE GARLIC PORK CHOPS IN CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE
- pork chops, bone-in or boneless (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the mushroom sauce
- 1 cup sliced brown mushrooms
- 4-5 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (125ml) chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
- In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the garlic pork chops. After using kitchen paper to pat the pork chops dry, liberally season them with the spice mixture. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.
- Sear the pork chops until they are nicely browned on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. The pork chops should be moved to a warm dish and left there.
- Using the same skillet, add the mushrooms and stir-fry, scraping off any parts that remain from the chops, until golden brown.
- Stir-fry the garlic, parsley, and Italian seasoning for a further 30 seconds before adding the broth. Add the cream, stir well, and boil for 3–4 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Return the pork chops and their juices to the sauce and boil for two to three minutes, or until the chops are done to your preference. Serve the creamy mushroom sauce-topped garlic pork chops right away over pasta, zucchini noodles, or cauliflower rice. Garnish with the leftover fresh parsley. Have fun!
HOW TO COOK PORK CHOPS RECIPE TIPS
- When possible, purchase bone-in pork chops: The fat encircling the bone helps keep the meat moist and tender while also preventing the pork chops from overcooking. Conversely, boneless pork chops are more likely to be overcooked and tend to be drier.
- Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator fifteen minutes before cooking time. When you bring the meat to room temperature, the cooking process will be more uniform.
- After cooking pork chops, give the meat a brief five-minute rest to allow the fluids to seep back through and tenderize the meat. You can tent the pork chops loosely with foil or cover them with a shallow plate.
HOW TO TELL WHEN PORK IS DONE?
Pork is done when an internal thermometer reads 145ºF (63ºC), per the recommendation of the USDA. Cooking time may vary depending on how thick the pork chops are. If the pork chops don’t have the same thickness, you can remove the thinner one first and let the others finish cooking.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH THE PORK CHOPS?
This pork recipe goes well with pretty much anything: potatoes, pasta, or if you’re on a low carb diet, zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or other veggies.
HOW AND HOW LONG TO KEEP THE PORK CHOPS LEFTOVERS?
You can keep the pork chops leftover for 2 days in the refrigerator, in an airtight container. Reheat gently in the microwave or covered in the oven for 5 minutes, adding a few drops of water to loosen the sauce.
