Recipe for Bone-In Pork Chops with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
Ingredients
4 bone-in pork chops, approximately 1/2” thick, room temperature
8 oz. white mushrooms, washed and sliced
2 tbsp. yellow onion, finely minced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
¼ cup plain, full-fat Greek yogurt, room temperature
3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
¾ cup chicken broth, preferably organic
¼ cup half and half, room temperature
3 tbsp. fresh parsley, stems removed and leaves finely chopped, divided
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Optional:
1 tsp. ground arrowroot (to thicken sauce)
Note: For best results let pork chops and dairy ingredients set at room temperature for 30 minutes before you begin cooking.
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-duty skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Season pork chops on each side with salt and pepper to taste and add to the hot skillet. Brown pork chops on each side, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Remove pork chops from pan and set aside. Reduce heat to medium and add sliced mushrooms to pan. Cook until mushrooms release their juices, approximately 6-7 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Add onion and garlic to pan and cook for 1-2 minutes more, stirring once or twice.
4. Deglaze the pan by adding the chicken broth and scraping up the brown bits on the bottom. Add the pork chops back to the skillet and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes or until chops are cooked through.
5. Transfer chops to a serving plate and cover to keep warm. While the chops rest, stir in the half and half, Greek yogurt, and 2 tablespoons fresh parsley until blended into the pan sauce.
Continue cooking until heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste, then remove from heat.
6. To serve, spoon mushroom sauce over the pork chops and sprinkle with additional parsley. Serve immediately.
Tip: If you prefer a thicker sauce, combine 1 teaspoon of arrowroot with some water and stir the slurry into the pan before returning the pork chops to the pan to finish cooking.
