• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

4 pork chops (thin and boneless)

1 teaspoon paprika

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (divided)

Salt and fresh cracked black pepper (to taste)

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 oz mushrooms (sliced)

4-5 garlic cloves (crushed)

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup Parmesan (grated)

1 tablespoon parsley (fresh and chopped)

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and place them in a medium bowl. Add paprika, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and shake together with pork chops to coat them.

Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high until butter is melted. Sear the pork chops for 4 minutes on each side until well browned on both sides. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and saute until golden brown.

Keeping the mushrooms in the pan, now add garlic, parsley and remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and cook for another minute or so. Now add chicken broth and heavy cream, and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened and adjust seasoning if needed. Add grated Parmesan to thicken the sauce. I used 1/4 cup, but feel free to use up to 1/2 cup.

Place pork chops and their juices back into the sauce and allow to reheat for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Serve the garlic pork chops over penne pasta or with vegetables.
