Smothered Garlic Mushroom Pork Chops

Ingredients

  • 4 Boneless Pork Chops (about 1 inch thick)

  • 8 oz (225g) Cremini or White Mushrooms, sliced

  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced

  • 1 cup Chicken Broth (low sodium)

  • ½ cup Heavy Cream (for that silky texture seen in the image)

  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme or Rosemary

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil or Butter

  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste

  • Fresh Parsley for garnish

  • Optional: ¼ tsp Xanthan Gum (if you want a thicker gravy without using flour)

Instructions

  1. Sear the Chops: Season pork chops generously with salt, pepper, and a bit of garlic powder. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chops for 3–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside (they will finish cooking in the sauce).

  2. Sauté Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until they release their moisture and turn a deep golden brown. Stir in the minced garlic and dried herbs, cooking for just 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Deglaze: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan (that’s where the flavor is!).

  4. Simmer and Thicken: Stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer for 3–5 minutes. If you prefer a thicker gravy, whisk in a tiny bit of xanthan gum at this stage.

  5. Combine: Place the pork chops back into the skillet, spooning the mushroom sauce over them. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes until the chops are cooked through but still juicy.

  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley. This looks beautiful served directly in the baking dish or skillet as shown in your photo.
