Pork Chops in Creamy Mushroom Sauce
Description
This recipe for Pork Chops in Creamy Mushroom Sauce highlights boneless pork chops seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and paprika, which are pan-seared to develop a golden exterior. The sauce is prepared in the same pan with butter, mushrooms, onions, and garlic, creating a flavorful base that is thickened with flour. The addition of chicken broth and heavy cream gives the sauce a smooth and creamy consistency, while a small amount of hot sauce adds depth without overpowering the flavors.
The pork chops finish cooking by simmering gently in the sauce, allowing them to stay moist and tender while absorbing the rich mushroom flavor. The texture of the cooked pork combined with the creamy, slightly tangy mushroom sauce creates a balanced dish with savory notes and a touch of warmth from the paprika and hot sauce.
Serve these pork chops with complementary sides such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables to soak up the sauce and complete the meal. The parsley garnish adds a mild herbal brightness at the end.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops about 1/2" thick, boneless
- ¾ tsp salt or to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper or to taste
- ½ tsp paprika or to taste
- 3 Tbsp butter divided, unsalted
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced, white or brown
- ½ onion finely chopped, medium
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 Tbsp flour
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 Tbsp parsley optional garnish
Instructions
- Season pork chops with salt, pepper and paprika. Heat 1 Tbsp butter and 2 tsp oil in a large pan over med/high heat. Once hot, sear chops 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove pork chops and cover to keep warm.
- In the same pan, add 1 Tbsp butter and sliced mushrooms. Cook 2 minutes over medium heat, or until lightly golden.
- Add 1 Tbsp butter and onions. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Cook 3-4 minutes, until onions are tender.
- Add minced garlic and saute 30 seconds, stirring frequently. Add flour and stir vigorously for 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken broth, hot sauce, whipping cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 2 minutes, or until cream begins to thicken. Add pork chops back to the skillet and cover with the mushroom sauce.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer 5-8 minutes, allowing the pork chops to become tender and the flavors of the mushroom sauce to penetrate into the pork chops. Garnish if desired and serve.
