Skillet Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy is a classic comfort food dish where pork chops are pan-seared until golden brown and then simmered in a savory mushroom gravy. This dish combines the rich, earthy flavors of mushrooms with the juicy tenderness of pork chops, all brought together in a creamy sauce. Here’s a basic recipe:

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button mushrooms)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Season the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
2. Sear the Pork Chops: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Cook the Onions and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter. Once melted, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Then add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Add the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Simmer the Pork Chops: Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and tender.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the pork chops with the mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
