Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces pork chops bone-in or boneless
  • 2 cups mushroom slices cremini or button mushrooms
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine choose a dry variety
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Pat the pork chops dry and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the pork chops. Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork and set aside to rest.
  3. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and toss in the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their juices and turn golden.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, smelling slightly toasted.
  5. Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce slightly for 3-4 minutes until the liquid thickens a bit.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, mixing well to combine into a smooth, velvety sauce. Let it simmer gently for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Add a tablespoon of butter into the sauce, swirling it until melted, which helps give the sauce a glossy finish.
  8. Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy mushroom sauce. Spoon some sauce over the pork and cook for another 2-3 minutes, just to reheat and meld flavors.
  9. Remove the skillet from heat and plate the pork chops topped with the rich mushroom cream sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
