Ingredient Notes

For Pork

• Pork – Bone-in pork chops are preferred, but you could use boneless. Be aware that the bone-in will add more flavor.
• Eggs – Beat the eggs.
• Breadcrumbs – I use panko but use regular dried breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs if you prefer.

For Mushrooms

• Butter – I used unsalted to control the sodium content. Salted butter works as well.
• Mushrooms – I used white, cleaned and sliced. Cremini or Shiitake mushrooms work as well.
• Garlic powder – Adds great flavor.
• Flour – Use plain old flour to help thicken the sauce.
• Chicken Broth – I like to use low sodium to control the amount of salt.
• Cream – I use heavy cream but half-and-half works also, depending on how creamy you like the sauce.

How to Make Mushroom Pork Chops

1. Season the Pork Chops: Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge them through the beaten egg, then through breadcrumbs. Place in a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Set aside.
2. Cook the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until they soften and brown. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, then sprinkle with the tbsp of flour. Stir and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
3. Make Sauce: Add the chicken broth and heavy cream and stir everything together. Cook for 5 more minutes, the sauce should thicken a bit. Pour this sauce over the pork chops evenly. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil.
4. Finish and Serve: Transfer the casserole dish to the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours, the pork should be fork tender. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes.

Tips

1. Using bone-in pork chops will provide more flavor than using boneless pork chops
2. Do not soak the mushrooms. Mushrooms absorb water like sponges, therefore they won’t brown nicely when cooked.

How To Serve

The list of of sides you can pair this dish with is endless! I personally love this dish with mashed potatoes. Serving this pork with a side of rice or any vegetable, with a nice piece of crusty bread is also an excellent idea.

Leftovers

Wrap leftovers tightly or transfer to an airtight container. Both the pork chops and mushrooms sauce will last in the fridge for 3 days!

Freezing

To extend the shelf life, I recommend freezing it! Wrap well or transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer. It will last anywhere from 4 – 6 months.
