How to cook pork chops?
- To start, heat up olive oil in a skillet. A cast iron skillet is what I use when cooking pork chops or chicken thighs because it results in a better sear.
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Check the temperature to make sure the pork chops are cooked through. Remove chops onto a plate and set aside.
- Add butter to skillet and melt. Add garlic and mushrooms. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Add ¼ cup of chicken stock or water and stir in with mushrooms.
- Add remaining butter, let melt and add pork chops back to skillet. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve pork chops with mashed or roasted potatoes or other vegetables.
What pork chops should I use?
For this recipe, I used bone-in pork chops. You can use what you have on hand. I recommend checking the internal temperature of your chops to make sure they are cooked through. Some pork chops are thicker than others so it's always to be safe and check if they are done with a meat thermometer.
What to serve with pork chops?
I tend to always go for potatoes. Pork chops just fit the "meat and potatoes" type of dinner so well. You can go with yellow, red or even sweet potatoes. Also a great option are baked potatoes. More vegetables that go well with these pork chops are Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, roasted carrots, green beans, spinach, creamed corn, etc.

Made this tonight at last minute. It was absolutely DELISH 🙂 Hubby was very pleased. So easy and quick. Pretty much only substitution was regular Paprika vs. Smoked. Otherwise - used Natures Seasoning for Salt/Pepper and it was gobbled down - just sayin 🙂 Have printed recipe to put in our rotation. Thanks MUCH !

Quick and easy preparation. Everything was seasoned well and the chops, to my surprise, were juicy snd tender. Will definitely make again.

Delicious! Next time I will make it exactly as written (I know, I know...) but if, like I did, you happen to discover half-way through prep that you have no garlic and only have shallots, make the substitution and keep going because it worked out well. To keep the garlic flavor I seasoned the pork chops and mushrooms with garlic salt. Served it with sauteed savoy cabbage for a low-carb dinner.
