These pork chops with cream of mushroom soup simmer gently in a skillet until tender, coated in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce. A simple, reliable weeknight pork chop recipe made in one pan.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil and one tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops, season with salt and pepper, and sear for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the remaining butter. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened about 4–5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to low, stir in the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until smooth and simmer for 3 minutes.
Put the pork chops back in the skillet with any juices from the plate, and let them simmer for 4 minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the pork chops.
Serve hot with fried potatoes, salad, or your favorite side dish.
Notes
Pick the Right Pork Chops: I like using bone-in pork chops because they stay juicier and add more flavor than boneless ones.Searing Made Simple: I always pat the chops dry before seasoning so they brown well. A hot skillet gives them that golden crust that makes the sauce taste even better.Perfecting the Sauce: If I want a richer sauce, I let it simmer longer or use a bit less broth. For something lighter, I add a splash more liquid. I taste as I go and adjust the seasoning before adding the chops back in.
