Ingredients
6 uncooked bacon strips, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 lb pork loin chops, boneless
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
2/3 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 garlic cloves, minced
5 sprigs fresh thyme (leaves)
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
Directions
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat up some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in bacon and cook until tender. Transfer to a plate, leaving the fat in pan.
- Add seasoned pork chops to the pan and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, until nicely seared. Reduce heat to medium midway through cooking. Transfer cooked pork chops to a plate.
- In the same pan, add in sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil if needed. Season with salt and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring quite often; until mushrooms soften and release juices. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour all over the mushrooms and stir until well combined.
- Add chicken broth to pan and bring to a boil, constantly stirring. Add heavy cream and stir until smooth. Then reduce the heat to low.
- Return cooked pork chops and bacon to pan. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat, until the pork chops are cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove from heat. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve.
Notes
- When eating, you may top your pork chops with more fresh thyme leaves if you like. Enjoy!
