Ingredients
- 4 pork chops
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 ½ cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
Instructions
- Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Use about a pinch of each per side.
- In a large pan or large cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. If your pork chops are thin (less than 1 inch), cook them for 3 minutes on each side. For thicker chops (1 inch or more), I recommend cooking them for 5 minutes per side. This will ensure they cook through without overcooking. Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the onions are soft and the mushrooms are sautéed, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, then add the can of cream of mushroom soup, onion powder, heavy cream, and garlic powder. Stir everything together until the soup is well combined.
- Return the cooked pork chops and any juices from the plate into the skillet with the mushroom sauce. Cover and let everything simmer together for another 3-5 minutes until the pork chops are fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it out by adding a splash more of chicken or vegetable broth.
- Once the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness and the sauce is thickened, remove the skillet from the heat. Let the chops rest for 2-3 minutes and then serve them hot, spooning some of the creamy sauce over the top of the pork chops.
- Enjoy your creamy mushroom pork chops with a side of mashed potatoes, broccoli, egg noodles, green beans, white, or brown rice.
Notes
- Choose the Right Pork Chops: Opt for pork chops that are about 1-inch thick and evenly sized for even cooking. Bone-in chops tend to be juicier, but you can use boneless chops as well.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper. This ensures that the flavors are well-balanced.
- Preheat the Skillet: Make sure your pan or skillet is properly preheated before adding the pork chops to achieve a nice sear and prevent sticking. This step helps the pork develop a flavorful crust and lock in juices.
- Don't Overcook the Pork: Keep an eye on the pork chops as they cook to avoid overcooking, which can result in dry meat. Be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure the chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for optimal juiciness.
- Adjust Sauce Consistency: If the mushroom sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a splash of broth. If it's too thin, you can simmer it for a few more minutes to reduce and thicken.
- Use a Slurry for a Thicker Sauce: Mix equal parts cornstarch or flour with cold water until it becomes smooth, then gradually add it to the sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
