How to Cook Pork Chops:
- Season and sear pork chops on a hot skillet in oil and butter
- Saute and season sliced mushrooms
- Add remaining ingredients for the creamy mushroom sauce
- 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.
Now imagine dipping a soft bread roll into that creamy mushroom sauce. This pork recipe is sure to become a favorite for busy weeknights.

I had thin sliced pork chops (bone in) which were on clearance at Safeway. I had no idea what I wanted to make until I saw this recipe. I had everything except the heavy whipping cream so it was a no brainer. It turned out absolutely delicious. Paired with mashed potatoes (great use of the leftover cream) made for a quick meal.
I added half glass of white wine,chilli powder and Cajun to the sauce. I let the mushrooms soak up the wine and butter before adding the broth. Was lovely
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
My pork chopswere 1.5 thick. Once I seared them for 3-4 minutes, I transferred them to my nuwave oven for 5 minutes while I was doing the sauce. Once I put them back, let them simmer for 10 minutes and they came out super tender! I served them over mash potatoes for one member of the family and over rice for the rest. Delicious!
This was so good, I substituted the heavy cream with sour cream. I like the extra tang and how sour cream thickens the sauce so no flour required.
soooo good and sooo quick!! I was making dinner for my mom and dad because they get out of work late and they absolutely loved this!! I served with mashed potatoes and green vegetables 🤍
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Andrea!
The BOMB! Added 1/2 tsp Aldofs tenderizer each pork chop too. Used 2″thick chops and they were phenomenal. Changed out regular salt and paprika for smoked sea salt and smoked paprika. Deeelish!!!
I made this on 5/25/24 and served it over rice. It was delicious. The meat needed to be a little more tender. Next time I’ll let it cook low & slow longer.
Sounds good, glad you enjoyed it!
Easy and delicious! The only thing I subbed was the hot sauce for a few shakes of cayenne pepper as I did not have hot sauce on hand. Next time I’ll try the hot sauce but the cayenne seemed to work just lovely. The best pork chops we’ve ever had! Thank you for the recipe!
I’m so glad to hear that, Sam!
Tasted delicious and was fast to make. More than 30 minutes counting prep time but still a quick dinner.
