Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 thick-cut pork chops
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or sour cream
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp paprika

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh thyme or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika (for spicy twist)
  • Spinach, bell peppers, or asparagus (for added vegetables)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pork Chops: Season pork chops generously with salt, pepper, and paprika. Pat dry for a good sear. Heat 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add remaining butter if needed, then sauté chopped onions and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and turn golden brown.
  3. Build the Sauce: Sprinkle flour over the onion and mushroom mixture, stirring constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in chicken broth to avoid lumps and simmer until the sauce thickens. Reduce heat, then stir in heavy cream or sour cream until smooth and creamy.
  4. Finish and Simmer: Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes to infuse flavors and thoroughly cook the chops without drying them out.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or thyme for brightness. Serve hot with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, polenta, or steamed vegetables.

Notes

  • Choose bone-in pork chops for extra flavor or boneless for quicker cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches 145°F for juicy and safe doneness.
  • Sear chops at high heat to develop a golden crust and enhance sauce flavor.
  • Use fresh mushrooms for best flavor and texture.
  • Be patient letting the sauce thicken for ideal creamy consistency without being runny.
  • For low-carb, substitute flour with cornstarch slurry or xanthan gum.
  • Dairy-free option: replace cream with coconut or cashew cream.
  • Add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra color and nutrients.
  • To avoid curdling, cook sauce gently on low heat after adding cream and avoid boiling.
  • Leftover Pork Chop Supreme keeps well refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen for 2 months.
