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.

Smothered Pork Chops in Mushroom Sauce #porkchops
Amazing one-pan pork chops recipe prepared in under 30 minutes. Smothered Pork Chops in a creamy garlic mushroom sauce. 
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients 

Servings: 4 servings
  • 4 boneless pork chops, about 1/2" thick
  • ¾ tsp salt, or to taste
  • ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
  • ½ tsp paprika, or to taste
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 8 oz mushrooms (white or brown), sliced
  • ½ medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbsp flour
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 Tbsp parsley, optional garnish

Instructions

  • Season pork chops with salt, pepper and paprika. Heat 1 Tbsp butter and 2 tsp oil in a large pan over med/high heat. Once hot, sear chops 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove pork chops and cover to keep warm.
  • In the same pan, add 1 Tbsp butter and sliced mushrooms. Cook 2 minutes over medium heat, or until lightly golden.
  • Add 1 Tbsp butter and onions. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Cook 3-4 minutes, until onions are tender. 
  • Add minced garlic and saute 30 seconds, stirring frequently. Add flour and stir vigorously for 30 seconds.

    Hi Natasha,

    I love your recipes But I could not get the pork tender enough!! I did everything you said to do, even using a mallet.
    Please advise!

    Thanks,

      Hi Nancy, I’d be more than happy to troubleshoot, was anything altered in the recipe? Do you feel like it is getting overcooked or maybe a certain type of cut you are using?

        I used bone in thin center cut pork chops….I did use a mallet on them and they were off the stove while I made the sauce. Pls advise. Thanks, Nancy

          Mine turned out hard too. What could have been the reason? Apparently, the meat needs to be in a room temperature (not colder) before you cook it and you need to make cuts to the edges to prevent steaks from curling inward. Of course, pounding the meat should help too!

      The flavor was really good but even though I made per the recipe, I don’t feel my sauce thickened well and it was more brothy than sauce. Any ideas?

        Hi Therese, the flour is used to thicken the sauce, otherwise, it may be too runny. Did you omit the flour or make any changes? You may try cornstarch instead. I hope that helps!

          I did use the flour and didn’t make changes but I could throw some cornstarch in next time. We’d definitely have it regularly if I can figure out the sauce!

    Can you do the final step of adding the pork chops to the mushroom sauce in the oven? Or maybe can you reheat the finished recipe in the oven the next day? (Planning a party menu)

      Hi Diana, that should work fine to finish it off in the oven. I haven’t tested it that way so I wouldn’t be able to provide specific oven instructions.
