How to Make A Healthier Smothered Pork Chops Mushrooms And Onions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut 1.5 lbs pork loin into 1-inch thick chops. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
- Remove pork chops from skillet and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more.
- Pour in 1 cup chicken stock, ½ cup dry white wine, and ¼ cup dry sherry. Stir in 2 sprigs fresh thyme, 1 bay leaf, and 2 sprigs fresh rosemary.
- Return pork chops to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from oven and garnish with 2 scallions, thinly sliced.
- Serve immediately over mashed potatoes, butter noodles, or rice, with a side of green beans.
