Creamy Garlic Mushroom Pork Chops

Main

• 3 pork chops, bone-in or boneless
• flour for dredging
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 2 tablespoon butter, divided
• 8 garlic cloves, sliced
• 1 1/2 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup parsley, chopped, optional
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Add salt & pepper to pork chops on both sides coat them in the flour.
2. Add cooking oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan gets hot, add the chops and cook on each side for 5-6 mins or until it's crisp and golden. If you have a cooking thermometer, check the thickest part of the chop for temperature and cook until you get a reading of 145°.
3. Once thoroughly cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and add remaining butter to the pan. Add the garlic cloves. Cook garlic for 1-2 mins stirring often until fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook for 2-3 mins.
5. Add chicken broth to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 mins or until the liquid has reduced.
6. Stir in cream and add the chops back to the pan. Cook for 4 mins. Once the sauce has reduced, stir in parsley.
