Yield:
4 servings, 1 pork chop & about 1/3 cup sauce each

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in pork chops, 1/2-3/4 inch thick (about 2 pounds), trimmed

  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • cup minced shallots

  • 8 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake & oyster

  • ½ cup dry white wine

  • cup half-and-half

  • ½ cup chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, tarragon and/or parsley

Directions

  1. Sprinkle pork chops with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 pork chops. Cook, turning once, until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a plate and tent with foil. Repeat with another 1 tablespoon oil and the remaining chops.

  2. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add shallots and mushrooms; cook, stirring frequently until the mushrooms are browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Add wine and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring up any browned bits, until the liquid is mostly evaporated, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir in half-and-half and herbs; cook until bubbling, about 1 minute more. Serve the chops with the mushroom sauce.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
