instructions
    1

    Begin by seasoning each pork chop with salt and pepper on both sides. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear each side for about 5 minutes until golden brown. If the skillet starts to smoke, reduce the heat.

    3

    Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate to rest.

    4

    In the same skillet, add finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

    5

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are browned and have released their moisture.

    6

    Pour in soy sauce and honey, allowing it to simmer for about 2 minutes. This will enhance the flavors and create a beautiful glaze.

    7

    Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce is slightly thickened.

    8

    Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over them and let them cook together for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring that the chops are heated through.

    9

    Once done, serve the pork chops hot, drizzled with the creamy mushroom sauce.

How to be creative
  • Top the dish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for a refreshing finish.
  • Serve the pork chops over a bed of mashed potatoes or creamy polenta to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Incorporate other vegetables like spinach or bell peppers into the mushroom sauce for added nutrition and texture.
Important Tips
  • For more depth of flavor, let the pork chops marinate in the soy sauce and honey for up to 1 hour before cooking.
  • Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the pork chops for a nice sear; this will keep them juicy.
  • Adding a splash of white wine before adding the cream can enhance the flavor profile.
