I had made 2 change:
1. My mushrooms were no longer good, so they had to go in the trash. Since I had already stared the chops, I substituted sweet peppers & onions. Was still very tasty!
2. My hubby wasn’t ready to eat when the chops were done. So I just put the cover on the pan & kept the stove on. So the sauce wasn’t as creamy. But it did coat the chops & was really good!
Served with herb roasted potatoes.
I thought this would be a good dinner for us, but when I cook chops in a fry pan they come out very tough. This recipe is no exception to the rule. Also, I had to add some Wondra to the sauce, but it was still not very thick. It was flavorful, though.
What is the trick to make the chops tender, please, and the sauce thicker?
Bake covered in casserole dish with tin foil over top after you have seered them make sure they are done then bake remaining ingredients 20 to 30 min more.
What would pair nicely with this for a full meal?
Hi!
I think most would probably choose mashed potatoes, but I’d go for grilled asparagus or roasted green beans. 🙂 Here’s a few recipes you could try:

Found this recipe and made it the same night. Both my husband and I loved it. Best pork chops we have ever ate. I used pork chops with the bone in. The herbs made the chops pop and the gravy was light and filling.
Hi,
This Pork Chop w/ Mushrooms & Cream Sauce looks scrumptious & simple!!!!!. I don’t know if I am not seeing
something, but could you post the measurements for the ingredients. It would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Hi!
You have to scroll down past all the pictures to get to the recipe box… that is where all the ingredients, measurements, and directions are listed.
What type of boneless chops were used.
That would be boneless pork chops.
I meant what cut of pork. Loin chops or what. Your reply was very prompt. Thank you
I’m so sorry for the late response, but I didn’t see your question until now. My apologies.
But, yes, these are loin chops.
I’m from Australia. What do you mean by half and half??
Hi!
It’s light cream. You can also use heavy cream or whole milk.
Hi
This recipe looks fabulous and will make it. One question Though, what is half and half? We don’t hear of that in Australia.
Hi!
Half & Half is half milk and half cream… you can just mix 1/2 whole milk with 1/2 light cream. Hope that helps. 🙂
Thank you
This looks so good! I would love to eat this for dinner any night!
wow, the real thing, I used to make a version of this with cream of mushroom soup, so I love your scratch mushroom sauce, thank you!
Such a great recipe! Definitely must try!
Delicious dish. I like both chicken and pork chop dishes and since they can sometimes be interchanged in preparation I don’t feel there’s a lack of recipes using the latter. I liked seeing the fresh mushrooms used … though I’ve used canned ones and cream of mushroom soup on occasion.
I love how creamy is this dish!
I’m all about anything with SHROOMS!
Those look mouthwateringly delicious!
You have such gorgeous color on those mushrooms and the pork chops! That sauce also sounds tasty!
My husband would love this! He loves pork chops and mushrooms! Looks sooooo good! I will have to make it for him!
