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.

    Can you make this recipe using the slow cooker? I was going to make the recipe as written then just poor the sauce over the pork chops and cook on low.

    I had pork tenderloin that I wanted to serve in a cream sauce – luckily I found this one! So Delicious!
    I followed the recipe for the most part adapting to the pork tenderloin. Served alongside sautéed sweet peas & carrots from a previous dinner.
    Thank you Natasha for a quick and easy dinner … and only 1 pan to clean up!

    The sauce is absolutely to die for. I was a little worried about the hot sauce since my mother-in-law hates spicy, but with only a teaspoon it just adds a little color and flavor. The pork is incredibly tender and juicy, I added a little smoked paprika into the dry seasoning and it complements the other flavors really well. I was able to finish my sides (mashed potatoes and French style green beans in lemon butter with shallots) while the sauce was simmering with the pork chops so everything was ready at the same time. With vegetable prep, as well as prepping the sides, it all took about an hour to come together. With everything prepped beforehand it probably would have been half an hour, so this is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. Easily five stars and I’ll definitely be making this again!!

      I’d also like to add that the sauce was the right thickness since I noticed other comments saying it was thin, but I let it simmer for a little longer, probably closer to 10-12 minutes, so it reduced and thickened naturally.

    You will need more flour for the sauce because it was way too thin. I had to make a slurry using 1 TBSP flour to a little water and added it into the sauce. Perfect! Some said their chops were dry. I brined mine for 1 1/2 hours before starting to cook, which will always make your chops more tender. If you do brine DO NOT salt your chops. Use the paprika and pepper only. I would make again. The sauce was amazing.

    I made this pork dish with some leftover medallions and it was fantastic! my mother even loved it and she doesn’t like mushrooms (I left them off her plate) and you were absolutely, right about the hot sauce. My husband said this has to go into the rotation! Thank you for your endless amazing recipes.

    This is absolutely delicious! The sauce is very thin so next time I’ll add 3 tbsp of flour. Everyone enjoyed it even the kids but all agreed the sauce needs to be thicken. I cooked it for awhile trying to reduce it some but it just never thicken. But it’s so good we just drank it. lol When a recipe calls for pork chops I almost always use pork tenderloin and cut it into medallions and pound them into chops and cook them the same way as pork chops. They where so tender and held up very nicely to this sauce and all the cooking time without drying out like regular chops. This is definitely going into my monthly rotation! Thank you!

      I loved it too and also used medallions. I wanted mine to be thicker as well so I made a slurry with some of the sauce and more flour and it worked great,. I also, added a little sherry because I just love it in cream sauces.

    Hi Natasha!

    I tried this recipe and the flavor was so delicious!! The only issue I had was runny sauce. I added 1 tbsp flour to it but it didn’t thicken up. It was still delicious even with runny sauce. I will be attempting it again. Is there a certain technic I should use when adding the flour? I have never had luck making anything thick! Lol I think I’m doing something wrong.

      Glad you liked it, Martha. The flour is used to thicken the sauce, otherwise, it may be too runny. You can try adding 2T of flour or you may try cornstarch instead. I hope that helps!

    I made this for my friend we both absolutely loved it!! I substituted a few things though . I can not have onions they cause migraines so I used shallots and I also used cream cheese for gravy instead . I used corn starch for thickener too. Instead of hot sauce I made a rub with Cajun spice . It came out so tender and had a nice kick but cream cheese calmed it down !!!! 😁 We finished pretty much everything thank you !!!!
