Ingredients

4 pork chops
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
4 cups cooked white jasmine rice
Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with olive oil over medium heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, sliced mushrooms, and minced garlic. Saute until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape off any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the broth to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the heavy cream, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the mushroom cream sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the pork chops through.
Serve the pork chops and mushroom cream sauce over cooked white jasmine rice.
Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
