Smothered Pork Chops in a Mushroom Sauce

Season the pork chops on all sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

To a skillet, add 1 tbsp of butter and 2 tsp of oil. Bring the pan up to a medium-high heat and add the pork chops to the pan.

Use a spatula to press the pork chops down lightly to get an even sear. Cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side or until a golden brown crust develops. Remove the cooked porkchops from the pan and cover to keep warm.

To the same pan, add 1 tbsp of butter along with sliced mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms for 2 minutes and add the chopped onions with 1 tbsp of butter. Cook for a few minutes until the onions are tender.

To the same pan, add the minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant.

Add the flour to the skillet and whisk it in until incorporated evenly.

Pour the chicken broth, heavy cream, and hot sauce into the pan and whisk continuously.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes or until it begins to thicken.

Add the porkchops back to the pan and submerge them in the sauce.

Reduce the heat to low, and cook the pork chops for 5-8 minutes or until they are heated through.

Garnish the pork chops with fresh parsley, serve, and enjoy!
