Pork Chops with a Creamy Mushroom and Garlic Sauce Recipe

One of the things I get recipe requests for the most is pork chops.  It seems beyond frying and baking people are at a loss.  Not to mention we all get bored of the same ol' thing all the time, and we want to spice it up.  I'll be honest, pork is not one of my favorite things, but my husbands LOVES it.  So when I was thinking of something special to make for him I knew I wanted to use some of his most loved ingredients...mushrooms and pork chops.

Keeping this low carb, I decided to add a little heavy cream and this recipe for Pork Chops with a Creamy Mushroom and Garlic Sauce was born.  The flavor is out of this world, and I know you're gonna love it so...

Let's Get Started!

For this Pork Chops with a Creamy Mushroom and Garlic Sauce Recipe you are going to need a few simple ingredients:

The ingredients needed to make the pork chops and mushroom garlic sauce.

  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 2 Tbsp Oil
  • 4 Center Cut Pork Chops
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 10-12 Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp Dried Minced Onion
  • 1/2 c Broth (any will do)
  • 1 c Heavy Whipping Cream

A cast iron skillet on the stove with butter and garlic in it.

To begin you will take a skillet, I recommend using cast iron if you can, and place over medium/high heat.  Add the butter and oil and allow the pan to get hot.

All the spices in a small bowl.

Place the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a small dish and mix together.

Seasoning the pork chops LIBERALLY on both sides.

The pork chops browning in the cast iron skillet.

When the pan is hot you are going to brown the pork chops on each side for 2-3 minutes.

The minced garlic in the pan with the browned pork chops.

When the pork chops are browned add the garlic and...

The sliced mushrooms in the pan with the browned pork chops.

Mushrooms to the pan.

Take a moment to nestle them in between the pork chops.

Pouring the broth in the pan with the browned pork chops.

Pour the broth into the pan.

You can use any kind of broth you like, chicken, vegetable, beef.  Water will even work if you don't have any on hand.

A tablespoon of dried minced onion being added to the pan with the pork chops.

Add the dried minced onions to the pan.

You can, of course, use regular onion, but I just find that this adds great flavor without overpowering the sauce.

A lid on the pan with the pork chops in it.

Bring the broth to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 20 minutes unto the pork chops are fully cooked.

A measuring cup of heavy whipping cream on the counter, coming to room temperature.

While the pork chops are simmering place your heavy cream out on the counter to come to room temperature.

This helps the cream thicken and not curdle in the pan.

After 20 minutes your pork chops will be fully cooked and the broth reduced by half in the pan.

The heavy whipping cream being added into the pan with the pork chops.

Pour in the heavy cream.

The cream sauce simmering in the pan with the pork chops.

Bring the heavy cream to a simmer and let thicken for 5-10 minutes.

You are looking for a beautiful thick and silky texture.

And there you have it, phenomenal Pork Chops with a Creamy Mushroom and Garlic Sauce.

The pork chops themselves are so tender that my husband was cutting them with his fork.  They were super juicy as well, not dry at all.

The sauce is rich and earthy, full of flavor.  I could literally drink it by the gallons and I officially want to put it on everything.  lol

I served my Pork Chops with a Creamy Mushroom and Garlic Sauce with a side of my cauliflower "wild rice" and some steamed vegetables to keep it low carb, but this would be AMAZING with some great mashed potatoes!  No matter how you choose to serve it I know you're gonna love it so get in the kitchen and give it a try tonight!

And as always...
