What you need to make pork chops with sauteed mushrooms

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to gather to make this pork chops and mushrooms recipe, along with a few of my ingredient tips and suggestions:

• 1 pound boneless center-cut loin pork chops (4 pieces)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons grilling seasoning with garlic, salt, and pepper (such as McCormick Grill Mates or Kinder’s – I use McCormick Grill Mates Garlic & Crushed Herbs or Kinder’s The Blend most of the time)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 16 ounces sliced Baby Bella mushrooms (buying pre-sliced mushrooms saves even more time on the recipe prep)
• 1 cup less-sodium chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or you can substitute Glucomannan Powder or Xanthan Gum to make this meal keto-friendly)

How to make this recipe pork chops and mushrooms

To make this recipe for herbed pork chops with mushrooms, start by rubbing both sides of the pork with the grilling seasoning and dried thyme. I included the spice quantities for you in the recipe as a guide, but to be honest, after making this for nearly 20 years, I pretty much just season the pork to taste with both seasonings.

Next, heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat (I use my Le Creuset braiser since it has some depth to it). Add the pork to the skillet and surround with the sliced mushrooms (it might seem crowded at first, but the mushrooms shrink down). Stir the mushrooms occasionally and flip the pork to brown on both sides, cooking until the pork is done.

Add chicken stock and cornstarch to a bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the stock mixture to the pan with the sauteed pork chops and mushrooms and stir. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. It will be a brothy sauce (not overly thick like a gravy), but if you prefer it to be a little thicker, you can whisk in some additional cornstarch with a slurry made from some of the pan broth.

Serve the pork chops with sauteed mushrooms with the sauce.

The pork will get nice and tender soaking in the sauce! And the sauce has a great mushroom and herb-infused flavor from the mushrooms’ juices and the seasoning from the pork.

I like to serve the sauteed pork chops and mushrooms over white or brown rice (which makes this a completely gluten-free meal), but you can also choose your favorite keto-friendly side for a hearty low-carb meal.
