Description

This Saucy Mushroom Pork Chop recipe is a comforting, home-style classic that delivers maximum flavor with minimal effort. Succulent boneless pork chops are quickly seared to lock in juices, then bathed in a savory, velvety sauce made from sauted mushrooms, onions, and aromatic herbs like rosemary and thyme. The dish strikes the perfect balance between tender meat and earthy, umami-rich gravy. Its an ideal weeknight dinner that feels special enough for guests but simple enough for busy evenings. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice to soak up every drop of the delicious sauce. With ingredients likely already in your pantry, this satisfying meal brings warmth and heartiness to your table without the fuss.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat.
  2. Brown the boneless pork chops on one side for about 1 1/2 minutes.
  3. Turn the chops and sprinkle with half of the rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper; brown the second side.
  4. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium and add more oil to the skillet if needed.
  6. Add the chopped onion, sliced mushrooms, and the remaining rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  7. Saut the vegetable mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until most of the mushroom liquid has evaporated.
  8. In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch into the chicken stock until smooth.
  9. Pour the stock mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms and onions.
  10. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute or until thickened.
  11. Return the pork chops and any accumulated juices from the plate to the skillet.
  12. Cook for 2 minutes, turning chops once, until they are tender yet still slightly pink inside.

Note

Use boneless, center-cut pork chops for even cooking and best results. Ensure chops are trimmed of excess fat.

For a richer sauce, you can substitute half of the chicken stock with dry white wine or beef broth.

If the sauce is too thin, mix an additional teaspoon of cornstarch with a teaspoon of water and stir it in, cooking until thickened. If too thick, add a splash more stock.

Serve immediately while hot. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water to restore sauciness.

Pairs well with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the savory gravy.
