Ingredients:
- For the Pork Chops:
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- For the Supreme Sauce:
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pork Chops:
- Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C). Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Supreme Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the broth to reduce by half, about 3-5 minutes.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Let the sauce simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chops to coat.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Serve the Pork Chop Supreme hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley, alongside rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
