Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless pork chops about ½ inch thick
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cups mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon rubbed sage
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil and add the pork chops. Sear until both sides are golden brown (about 2 minutes on each side). Remove the pork chops and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter and add mushrooms, onions, thyme, and sage. Sauté until mushrooms are browned and have released most of their moisture.
  • Add chicken stock, heavy cream, and balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine. Mix cornstarch with the water and stir into the sauce.
  • Place pork chops in the sauce and simmer until the sauce thickens and the pork chops are fully cooked (the internal temperature reads between 145 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with fresh thyme. Enjoy!

Notes

Sear the pork chops well – This locks in juices and adds big flavor.
Don’t overcook! – Pork is best at 145°F for juicy, tender bites.
Use fresh thyme & sage if possible – It makes a huge difference in the final flavor.
Deglaze the pan – Scrape up those flavorful browned bits for the best sauce!
Leftover storage and reheating tips:
Fridge – Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezer—You can freeze this for up to 3 months (but note that the mushroom texture may change).
Reheat – Warm in a skillet over low heat with a splash of stock or cream to loosen up the sauce.
