Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs of olive oil
  • 4 Pork chops boneless or bone in, approximately 1 inch thick
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz Mushrooms sliced
  • 1/4 cup Flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 Tbs worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp thyme

Instructions

  • Pat pork chops dry with paper towel and sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sear porkchops on each side for about 2 minutes. Remove pork chops to a plate and set aside.
  • Add butter, onions, mushrooms and garlic to the pan and heat over medium heat until onions and mushrooms are soft.
  • Stir in the flour, then add the chicken broth, buttermilk, Worcestershire and thyme. Stir to combine.
  • Add the pork chops and heat for about 5 minutes then flip and cook an additional 5 minutes until gravy is thick and pork chops are cooked through.

Notes

  1. We like to use a thicker pork chop for this but thinner or even bone in will work fine as well.
  2. Make sure you sear your pork chops before anything this will seal in the juices.
  3. If you do not have buttermilk, regular milk will work just as well, it just won't be as rich.
  4. We use white button mushrooms for this recipe, but you can use your favorite.
