Ingredients
- 3 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
- 4 bone-in pork chops about 1/2” thick
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz. white mushrooms washed and sliced
- 2 Tbs. onions finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup half and half at room temperature
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt unflavoured and at room temperature
- 3 Tbs. fresh parsley leaves finely chopped - divided
- 1 Tsp. Arrowroot powder Optional to thicken the sauce
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel then season each side with salt and pepper to taste and place them into the hot skillet. Brown the pork chops on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the pork chops from the pan and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Continue cooking until the mushrooms release their juices, about 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the minced onions and garlic to the pan and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes stirring a few times.
- To deglaze the pan pour the chicken broth into the skillet and stir, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom. Add the pork chops back into the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the chops are cooked through.
- When cooked transfer the chops to a serving plate and cover to keep them warm. While the chops are resting, stir in the half and half, Greek yogurt, and 2 Tbs. of fresh parsley into the pan and stir until blended with the chicken stock.
- Continue cooking the sauce until it’s heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from the heat.
- To serve, spoon the mushroom sauce over the pork chops and garnish with the extra parsley.
Notes
Tips: If you prefer a thicker mushroom sauce, then combine 1 tsp. Of arrowroot powder with a little water and stir the slurry into the pan before adding the pork chops back to the pan to finish cooking. If you don't have arrowroot powder then you can use 1 Tbs. of flour instead.
