Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops (about 200g each)
• 300g cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
• 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Pat pork chops dry. Season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Sear pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and sliced mushrooms.
5. Cook mushrooms for 5-6 minutes without stirring initially, letting them brown and release moisture.
6. Add garlic and thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
7. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
8. Add heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Stir and bring to a simmer.
9. Cook sauce for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
10. Return pork chops to the skillet. Spoon sauce over them.
11. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until pork reaches internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
12. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Use bone-in pork chops at least 2cm thick to prevent drying out during searing.
• Do not move mushrooms for the first 3 minutes of cooking; let them sear rather than steam for better caramelization.
• Add 2 tbsp grated parmesan to the cream sauce for extra richness and a slightly nutty flavor.
• Substitute cremini mushrooms with shiitake, portobello, or a wild mushroom mix for more complexity.
• Serve over cauliflower mash or alongside roasted green beans to complete the keto meal.
