Why You'll Love This Dish
Just one bite of these juicy pork chops with garlicky butter and fragrant sauteed mushrooms will make you feel like you are eating a high-end restaurant meal. In fact, these porkchops are super easy to make and cook really quickly. The garlic mushroom sauce made with butter and just a little bit of water or stock perfectly pairs with pork.
These Garlic Butter Mushroom Pork Chops are perfect even for busy weeknights. They cook quickly and you can make the mushroom topping in just minutes. Serve the chops with roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts, fried cabbage or broccoli for an easy dinner!
Ingredients:
- pork chops - I used bone-in pork chops.
- mushrooms - Any work, I used baby Bella mushrooms.
- garlic - I recommend using fresh garlic bulbs. Mince or chop them finely.
- chicken stock - Needed to deglaze the pan.
- butter and olive oil - My go-to combo for frying. It allows the chops and mushrooms to brown nicely.
How to cook pork chops?
- To start, heat up olive oil in a skillet. A cast iron skillet is what I use when cooking pork chops or chicken thighs because it results in a better sear.
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Check the temperature to make sure the pork chops are cooked through. Remove chops onto a plate and set aside.
- Add butter to skillet and melt. Add garlic and mushrooms. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Add ¼ cup of chicken stock or water and stir in with mushrooms.
- Add remaining butter, let melt and add pork chops back to skillet. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve pork chops with mashed or roasted potatoes or other vegetables.
What pork chops should I use?
For this recipe, I used bone-in pork chops. You can use what you have on hand. I recommend checking the internal temperature of your chops to make sure they are cooked through. Some pork chops are thicker than others so it's always to be safe and check if they are done with a meat thermometer.
What to serve with pork chops?
I tend to always go for potatoes. Pork chopsjust fit the "meat and potatoes" type of dinner so well. You can go with yellow, red or even sweet potatoes. Also a great optionare baked potatoes. More vegetables that go well with these pork chops are Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, roasted carrots, green beans, spinach, creamed corn, etc.

Delicious! Next time I will make it exactly as written (I know, I know...) but if, like I did, you happen to discover half-way through prep that you have no garlic and only have shallots, make the substitution and keep going because it worked out well. To keep the garlic flavor I seasoned the pork chops and mushrooms with garlic salt. Served it with sauteed savoy cabbage for a low-carb dinner.Reply
