Ingredients  

  • 4 pork chops
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon butter

Mushroom Sauce

  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup or homemade version
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme diced
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions 

  • Prepare the pork chops, let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then pat dry. 
  • Combine the seasonings for the pork chops in a small bowl (salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika). 
  • Sprinkle the seasoning on both sides of the pork chops.

Notes

Pork Chops: this recipe can be made with both bone-in or boneless chops.
Oil & Butter: using a combination gives a buttery flavoring without burning the butter when searing the pork.
Cream of Mushroom Soup: use a store-bought canned soup, an organic canned version, or make your own homemade cream of mushroom soup substitute.
Mushrooms: add even more savory flavoring by using fresh mushrooms also.
Milk: loosens up the cream of mushroom soup to create a thinner sauce.
White Wine: used to deglaze the pan plus it adds flavor to the sauce. If preferred you can substitute the wine for chicken broth. Use a dry wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc, or a Chardonnay. Substitute with chicken broth if needed.
Herbs: fresh parsley and thyme for flavor. Substitute with dry herbs if needed or you can swap out the herbs and use rosemary or another herb of your choice.
Storage: store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Freezing: freezing can alter the texture of the sauce, I would recommend not freezing this recipe.
Reheating: place pork chops and sauce in a covered skillet and heat over low heat for 8-10 minutes until warmed through.
