These Garlic Butter Mushroom Pork Chops are tender and juicy chops seared and simmered in garlicky butter and mushrooms. Quick dinner with a ton of flavor!

These pork chops are super quick to make and delicious, like my Pork Schnitzel. I like to serve both with my German Potato Salad or Mashed Cauliflower for a low-carb dinner.

Why You'll Love This Dish

Just one bite of these juicy pork chops with garlicky butter and fragrant sauteed mushrooms will make you feel like you are eating a high-end restaurant meal. In fact, these pork chops are super easy to make and cook really quickly. The garlic mushroom sauce made with butter and just a little bit of water or stock perfectly pairs with pork.

These Garlic Butter Mushroom Pork Chops are perfect even for busy weeknights. They cook quickly and you can make the mushroom topping in just minutes. Serve the chops with roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts, fried cabbage or broccoli for an easy dinner!

Ingredients:

  • pork chops - I used bone-in pork chops.
  • mushrooms - Any work, I used baby Bella mushrooms.
  • garlic - I recommend using fresh garlic bulbs. Mince or chop them finely.
  • chicken stock - Needed to deglaze the pan.
  • butter and olive oil - My go-to combo for frying. It allows the chops and mushrooms to brown nicely.

How to cook pork chops?

Overhead shot of mushrooms and garlic in cast iron skillet.
  • 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.

    Phenomenal. I make this all the time, and I add extra paprika and a shallot to the mushrooms. Works a charm!

      Great for one person. I used half of the ingredients. I used 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic in jar for 1 pork chop. Used rest of mushrooms on mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy.J

    This is an every other week dinner on our menu. I doubled the recipe to accommodate the extra chops. My little who has a very picky palate loves this.

    I made this tonight and it was amazing. My chops were real think so I had to cook longer but OMG they were great. I also added 1Tablespoons of corn starch that made the gravy nice and thick. So going to make again. And I have never been a huge pork chop fan but these are amazing.

    Soooooo amazingly delicious! I wasn’t able to simmer the chop back in the pan but made sure that they were done when plating and topped with the mushroom sauce. Thank you!

    made this for lunch just now, perfect timing + temp for the chop, it came out so juicy. I had it with brussels sprouts and potatoes, cause it’s what I had. Also, I added some gochugaru, a Korean spice, to give the meat a little kick. Thanks for the post and recipe!

    Looks so good. Going to try tonight. One question....is the nutrition facts you provided per pork chop or for 2 pork chops. Sorry if this seems like a silly question.
