How to Cook Pork Chops:

  1. Season and sear pork chops on a hot skillet in oil and butter
  2. Saute and season sliced mushrooms
  3. Add remaining ingredients for the creamy mushroom sauce
  4. Return pork chops, smother in sauce and cook until tender

NOTE: The meat cannot thicker than 1/2″ in thickness or else it will not cook through. If the meat is thicker, beat with a meat mallet until about 1/2″ in thickness.

How to Substitute for Bone-in Pork Chops:

This recipe will work for both bone-in or boneless pork chops. If substituting for bone-in, cook an additional 2-3 minutes longer per side, depending on the thickness of the meat. The internal reading of the thickest part of the pork chop should read 145°F which is the safe pork cooking temperature. 

What Kind of Mushrooms Should I use?

Use whatever mushrooms you have on hand. White mushrooms, cremini or portobello mushrooms will all work in this recipe.

NOTE: Did you know that portobello mushrooms are just cremini mushrooms that are harvested when mature and fully grown?

Can I Substitute the Hot Sauce?

The hot sauce gives the creamy mushroom sauce a light kick. If you are concerned about it being too spicy, add less of the sauce or omit it completely, but it does add great flavor to the sauce. 

How to Make the Pork Chops Tender?

Once the pork chops are added back to the pan, turn the heat down to low and allow the pork chops to continue cooking another 5-8. Be sure the heat is really low so it doesn’t burn the sauce.

    This was really good! I had mushrooms that I needed to use up and boneless pork chops and it was the perfect dish to use both. I’ll definitely be making this again!

    Let me preface with the fact that I myself do not really care for pork chops at all. I have always tolerated them occasionally for my spouse who loves pretty much all things pork. I wanted to do something special and love a lot of the recipes we’ve tried here, so thought we could give this a try. This dish is absolutely amazing. A 10/10 and we’ve eaten it three times in three weeks. We triple the mushrooms because we adore them, but that’s the only change. Our 6 year old even adores it. If a restaurant had this, I would actually consider eating pork chops more often. This is definitely going into our regular rotation. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing with us. P.S. My husband is literally licking his plate in front of me to show his appreciation as I type this. Keep on being amazing!
