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.

    This was the first recipe I tried after I searched for a recipe containing mushrooms and pork.
    We were so happy we chose this recipe! The directions were easy to follow and the dish was delicious. My husband said he wants this one again!

    So yummy! I made a few minor adjustments. As I love fresh herbs I added in basil and oregano from my herb garden when the chops were simmering in the sauce. I used half and half instead of whipping cream and as I used fresh herbs I omitted the hot sauce. And added a bit more broth and half and half for additional sauce. Froze 3 containers. This is the best and will be added into my rotation!

    These were sooo good! And super easy, which is required for me to make anything more than once. I made a cornstarch slurry with a portion of the chicken broth to make it gluten free, but followed the recipe exactly otherwise. Good stuff!!!!

    Have made this several times now – so perfect! The only thing I change is I bake the chops for awhile once all the sauce is added (covered, then uncovered for a few more minutes). Really a go to recipe for me ~ thank you!

    Add the mushrooms being cooked then removed, and then the onions being cooked and removed? It’s not clear.

      Hi Seline, the only thing that is removed is the pork chops after they are initially cooked so they aren’t overcooked. I’m not sure where you are seeing to remove anything else?

    This is one of my regular recipes now. My family all LOVE it and it is so easy to make. Have had it with rice, noodles and potatoes as the sauce tasted wonderful with each. (Note: The sauce is also excellent with chicken instead of pork too)

        Been cooking for 50 years and this was not good. The sauce was watery, and tasted like fat because of the fat on the pork chops. Due to diet I had to use sodium free broth. Pork chops were tough, and I’d baked it in the oven for an hour.

    This recipe is soooo good! The pan was a little too big so the sauce didn’t fully cover the chops, so I just turned them and cooked another 8 minutes and they came out perfect. Great recipe!

    This pork chop recipe was absolutely delicious. Chops we’re tender and juicy. I used a tenderizing mallet on the boneless chops then I substituted baking soda for the salt in the seasoning. I let the seasoning ‘marinate’ for an hour or so.
    For the sauce, I didn’t have whole milk so I substituted sour cream. Delicious!

    This recipe was soooo delicious!
    The sauce is amazing. I made double the sauce so we would have enough for gravy for the mashed potatoes we had with it. I did add an extra tablespoon of flour as we like thicker sauces. I think it would be great served on noodles, too. Yum and thank you!

    This was so good! I was coming back to save the recipe and thought I’d leave a review- I never do! Easy too! Made mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. We thought the sauce was the perfect consistency as written and I even used whole milk. We used it as a gravy with potatoes as someone else noted. Also used veg broth because what I had. Looking forward to making more of your recipes. Thanks!

    I never leave reviews but after making this for dinner tonight I thought I should. I followed this recipe exactly and it is fantastic. Pork chops were very tender and had tons of flavor. The mushrooms and sauce is to die for. I used it as a gravy for my mashed potatoes. Thankyou for sharing. Looking forward to trying many more of your recipes.
