Ingredients
  

4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

    Sear the Pork Chops: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the pork chops. Sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and have an internal temperature of 145°F. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Garlic and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.

        Make the Creamy Sauce: Stir in the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat. Gradually add the heavy cream and stir constantly until the sauce is smooth and thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

          Combine Everything: Return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them in the creamy mushroom sauce. Let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

            Serve: Plate the pork chops, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce generously over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
