Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
- 6 strips thick-cut bacon (diced)
- 8 oz fresh cremini or button mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, slicing the mushrooms, and dicing the bacon.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- Season both sides of each pork chop with salt and pepper. Sear in the same skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Set aside.
- Sauté chopped onions in the skillet until translucent (about 3 minutes). Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in minced garlic, then add chicken broth and heavy cream. Scrape up browned bits from the pan and let simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
- Return pork chops to the skillet along with crispy bacon; cook on low heat for an additional 5 minutes before serving.
