Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 4 bone-in pork chops dry and season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Add pork chops and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove chops and tent with foil to rest.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 2 tbsp butter to the skillet. Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and 3 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 5 minutes until mushrooms are browned and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 1/4 cup chicken broth and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 3/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme. Cook for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Step 6: Return pork chops to the pan and spoon sauce over them. Heat through for 1-2 minutes before serving.
