Make this easy weekday meal with mushroom sauce!
It all starts with the pork chops, which are thick and seared to perfection.
Once you make your mushroom sauce, you bring it to a simmer then smother your pork chops and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
The best part is this recipe doesn’t take much time to accomplish.
The pork chops are seared for 3-5 minutes per side then simmered in the mushroom sauce for another 2-3 minutes until thoroughly cooked.
Don’t waste time with complicated recipes, dirtying an array of kitchen utensils and multiple trips to the store for ingredients you may not use again.
This recipe requires one bowl and a single skillet.
