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.

      The flour is used to thicken the sauce, otherwise, it may be too runny. You may try cornstarch instead. I hope that helps! 🙂

    I brine the porc for a while before cooking to make them really tender.
    Recipe is simple and very tasty.
    I also put it all in a pot in the oven for the last stage, to finish and keep warm while prepping everything else.

    I defrosted a pork cutlet, bone in, before going down the pub. Came back and followed the recipe as close as possible, added lots of Portuguese Piri Piri sauce and now call it cutlet with devilled creamed mushroom sauce. Lovely with a jacket spud. Back down the pub now.

    Was excited for this recipe but in the given time the pork chops definitely weren’t ready. Cooking time definitely needs to be adjusted +15-20 minutes, if you don’t want to eat raw pork chops.

      Hi Sintija, if are seared first and then cooked in the sauce, they should be cooked through, but it can vary depending on the thickness of your pork chops and also the heat setting on your stove. If you are using thicker pork chops, I would cook longer.

      Oh goodness. This is so good. We had it twice this week, to use the expensive organic cream I bought
      ; )
      I have already passed the recipe on to friends who love it too.

      I definitely simmered the meat too long the first time. Second time I watched the temperature a lot closer and stopped when they were about 150F
