Delicious Pork Chops with Mushroom and Thyme Sauce
These savory pork chops are pan-seared to perfection and topped with a rich mushroom and thyme sauce. The sauce adds a depth of flavor that perfectly complements the juicy pork, making this dish a family favorite.
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the Pork Chops: Generously season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Pork Chops: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside.
- Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the thyme. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it reduce for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Combine and Serve: Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
