What You’ll Need
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 480kcal
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 small onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken or beef broth
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the pork chops: Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the onions and mushrooms: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onions and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until tender and browned.
- Make the mushroom sauce: Stir in the chicken or beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the fresh thyme or rosemary and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and butter, cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the pork chops: Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the mushroom sauce over them. Let the pork chops warm through for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot, paired with keto-friendly sides like cauliflower mash or sautéed greens.
