Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, fresh thyme, fresh parsley, and red pepper flakes. Place pork chops in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning the chops after 30 minutes.

02

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour 1/4 cup chicken broth into the bottom of a shallow roasting pan.

03

Step

Remove pork chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

04

Step

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops for 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the browned chops to the prepared roasting pan and top with the thinly sliced onion. Cover the pan tightly.

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

06

Step

While the pork chops are baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup chicken broth, milk, dry white wine, chopped cremini mushrooms, and chopped white mushrooms; cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Add flour and bring to a boil, stirring frequently until thickened. Lower the heat and simmer the sauce until the pork chops are ready.

07

Step

Remove the pork chops from the oven; drain and discard the chicken broth from the pan. Pour the mushroom sauce over the pork chops, cover the pan, and return it to the oven. Bake until the pork chops are no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

For an even richer flavor, consider using a dry sherry in place of the white wine.
If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can substitute with dried herbs. Use 1 teaspoon of dried thyme and 1 teaspoon of dried parsley.
Make sure not to overcook the pork chops, as they can become dry. Using a meat thermometer is highly recommended.

    The mushroom gravy was amazing! I served it with mashed potatoes, and it was a hit.

  • Waldo Dickens

    I added a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the marinade for extra depth of flavor. Will definitely make this again!
