Instructions
- Season Pork Chops:
- Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Sear Pork Chops:
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 3 – 4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove to a plate and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables:
- Add onion and mushrooms to the same skillet. Sauté for 4 – 5 minutes, until mushrooms are browned and onions are soft.
- Add Aromatics:
- Add garlic and thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Create Sauce:
- Stir in cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Mix well, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Simmer with Pork Chops:
- Return pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 – 12 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
- Finish and Serve:
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Kitchen Guide
- → What type of mushrooms work best in the sauce?
Cremini or white mushrooms are ideal as they provide a rich, earthy flavor and maintain texture during cooking.
- → How can I ensure pork chops stay tender when cooking?
Patting chops dry and searing over medium-high heat locks in juices. Then simmering in creamy sauce cooks them gently for tenderness.
- → Is it possible to use bone-in pork chops for this dish?
Yes, bone-in chops add extra flavor but require longer cooking time; adjust simmering to ensure they reach proper doneness.
- → Can I substitute heavy cream in the mushroom sauce?
For a lighter sauce, half-and-half or a mix of milk and butter works well without sacrificing creaminess.
- → What side dishes complement this meal?
Mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles complement the creamy sauce and tender pork perfectly, absorbing the flavors.
- → How do I prevent the sauce from splitting?
Simmer the sauce gently on low heat and avoid boiling once cream is added to maintain a smooth texture.
