Ingredients You’ll Need

To make Creamy Mushroom Pork Chops, you’ll need:

Bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
Olive oil or butter for searing
Fresh mushrooms (such as cremini, white, or baby bella)
Garlic and onion for added depth of flavor
Chicken broth or stock
Heavy cream or half-and-half for creaminess
Flour or cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Fresh herbs like thyme or parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Season and sear the pork chops.

Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat oil or butter in a skillet and sear the pork chops until golden brown on each side. Remove and set aside.

2. Cook the mushrooms.

In the same skillet, sauté the mushrooms, onions, and garlic until softened and fragrant.

3. Make the creamy sauce.

Add chicken broth and scrape the pan to release the flavor. Stir in cream and let it simmer until slightly thickened. If needed, whisk in a little flour or cornstarch.

4. Combine and simmer.

Return the pork chops to the pan and spoon the mushroom sauce over them. Let them simmer for a few minutes until the chops are cooked through and the flavors meld together.

5. Serve and garnish.

Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Tips for the Best Creamy Mushroom Pork Chops

Choose the right cut: Bone-in chops tend to stay juicier, but boneless works well too.

Don’t overcook: Pork chops cook quickly; keep an eye on them to avoid dryness.

Use fresh mushrooms: They add a richer flavor compared to canned varieties.

Make it lighter: Swap heavy cream with half-and-half or a splash of milk for a lighter sauce.

Perfect Pairings

Creamy Mushroom Pork Chops pair beautifully with:

Creamy mashed potatoes
Steamed green beans or roasted broccoli
