Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the Pork Chops:
- 1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 boneless pork chops ¾-inch thick
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
For the Mushroom Gravy:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms such as cremini or baby portabella
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth or white wine
- ⅓ cup half and half
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the chops. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear the pork. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the pork chops. Cook for about 6-7 minutes, or until cooked through, turning the meat once. When done searing, place the pork chops on a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Cook the mushrooms. Add the butter to the pan. When the butter melts, add the mushrooms and cook, while stirring, until browned. This will take about 3 minutes.
- Sauté the garlic. Add the garlic and continue to cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add broth. Pour in the chicken broth or wine, stir to combine, and cook until the liquid is mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes.
- Finish the gravy. Stir in the half and half and dried herbs, and bring the gravy to a simmer.
- Put it all together. Place the pork chops back in the skillet and cook for 1 more minute, or until heated through. Serve the pork chops hot, with mushroom gravy on top.
