- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter

- 1/2 cup heavy cream

How to make Pan-Seared Pork Chops with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
- Pat the 4 boneless pork chops dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron or stainless steel) over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the hot skillet.
- Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until a beautiful golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for thicker chops.
- Transfer the seared pork chops to a plate and tent loosely with foil to rest. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the pork tender.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp unsalted butter to the same skillet. Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and turn golden brown.
- Dice 1 medium shallot and mince 2 cloves garlic. Add them to the skillet with the mushrooms and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release all the flavorful browned bits. Bring the broth to a simmer and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1 tsp Dijon mustard. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until it slightly thickens.
- Return the rested pork chops and any accumulated juices from the plate to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Simmer gently for 1 minute to heat the pork through.
- Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley and serve the pork chops immediately with the creamy mushroom sauce spooned generously over them.
