Pork Chops Recipe:
This is a one pan dinner which makes clean up so much easier. The pan-fried pork chops in a creamy garlic mushroom sauce are going to leave you so satisfied! Restaurant quality dinner from the comfort of your home at a fraction of the price. Yes, please.
Did you know that pork is the most commonly consumed meat in the world? It’s an affordable choice of meat regardless of where you live, and, if cooked properly, it is juicy and flavorful. It’s no wonder our roasted pork tenderloin is among the top 10 recipes year after year.
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.

This worked really well, we used medallions of pork fillet.
Loved the sauce which we would like to use with Chicken or Steak – I wonder if the sauce would freeze?
Thanks for sharing, Chris. I haven’t tried freezing that to advise that but I think it could work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
This recipe was amazing!!! It felt easy and quick! I am obsessed. I use coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream, due to my little one having a dairy allergy, and it came out so good! Thank you for sharing!!
You’re welcome, Alouise! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Made this recipe for dinner tonight. As always …your recipes dont disappoint. I have tried alot of your recipes and all of them were awesome. I will continue to follow and make your meals and I have recommended you to alot of friends. Keep doing what you do and I will keep making great meals…THANKS
Hi Helen, I will surely do that. Thank you for your wonderful review and feedback!
Instead of whipping cream can you use milk
Hi Terry, someone else shared this in the comments section “Tried this and it was fantastic. Didn’t have heavy cream so I used milk & a little more flour and it was just fine!” I hope that helps.
The pork and mushroom recipe has been the best yet!!! You’re an amazing chef and my sister, her fiancé and I thank you so much because it just has been amazing! Thank you again!!! 😍😍😍
You’re welcome, Anna! Thank you for this lovely comment! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Hello! Just wondering I I can sub Beef for chicken broth. Will the flavor still be good?
Thanks!!
Hi Janice, I haven’t tested that substitution, but I imagine that should work.
Very tasty! I only used 1/4 teaspoon of hot sauce and that added just enough “kick” for me. I will definitely make this again.
Fantastic! Glad you loved it, Jane.
Very tasty! I love these 1 pan meals! I used only 1/4 tsp of hot sauce and it gave just the right amount of “kick” for me. I will definitely make this again.
Perfect! Thanks for your wonderful review, Jane.
I’ve made this before and loved it so much!! Making it again but with 8 pork chops .. do I double the whole recipe or just parts of it??
Hi Christina, if you click on the serving size in the recipe card, you can slide it up or down to scale the recipe ingredient lists. I hope that helps!“
Hi! I actually thoroughly enjoyed this. Turned out as hoped. The only thing I have to suggest it to add the word “be” at the start of your directions…. can’t be thicker then 1/2 lol. Badly written English just turns my tummy hahaha. Otherwise, it’s awesome!
Thanks for your feedback and suggestion!
Barbie – You should check your own spelling before judging someone else’s words! This isn’t English 101. It’s a recipe forum. Geez.
Hi want to make this tonight but what is hot sauce ? I have tobacsco sauce would this be a good substitute?
Many thanks 😊
Hi Janet, hot sauce is a spicy sauce or condiment made with chili peppers. The hot sauce gives the creamy mushroom sauce a light kick. If you are concerned about it being too spicy, add less sauce or omit it completely, but it adds great flavor to the sauce. Tobasco should work here.
Hi Natasha, made this for dinner tonight with bone in chops. Took your suggestions and it was sooo delicious. Thanks for the great recipe. 😋
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review!
I made the mushroom and pork chops today. I had to add more flour as I wanted more of a gravy . This was too watery. I will say the flavor was very good. I also did not add hot sauce as there wasn’t any in the house. I will make this again.
Sounds good, Jackie. Thank you for sharing your experience with us making this recipe!
Absolutely Delish! My 12 year old hates any kind of gravy. But he loved this!!
So packed with flavor!
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
That is the best when kids love what we moms make. That’s so great!
OMG! Made this for dinner last night and it was heavenly and so easy. Thanks for another repeat meal.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Excellent! This got rave reviews from the family and will be a repeat dish for sure. Thank you!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Vivian!
Delicious! Will definitely be adding to my repertoire .
The sauce is absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, as some others mentioned, the pork chops were dry despite following the tips.
Hi Vanessa, thank you for sharing that with me! Pork can be easy to overcook and turn dry which is why we are hooked on using our instant-read thermometer. It has saved many meals!
Thank you so much for this delicious recipe. My daughter can only have meat, milk, eggs, and mushrooms because of allergies, so we substituted monterery jack cheese for the flour to thicken and left several things out, but it was DELICIOUS!!
I’m so glad this worked for her! Thank you for sharing those substitutions with us!
I tried this recipe and it was easy and the taste was amazing.
Thank you so much, Vivian.
