📝 Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops (5 ounces each)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 7 ounces white button mushrooms (halves)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat a large skillet over medium heat on the stovetop.
2. 2Add the olive oil and let it heat up. Once hot, sear the pork chops until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
3. 3Remove the seared pork chops from the skillet and place them in a baking dish.
4. 4In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and cook them until they become softened, which typically takes around 5 minutes.
5. 5Toss in the minced garlic and cook it for about a minute. Then, add the heavy cream, oregano, cheese, and pepper flakes.
6. 6Sprinkle some salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for approximately 3 minutes or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
7. 7Pour the creamy sauce over the pork chops in the baking dish, ensuring they are well coated.
8. 8Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and let the pork chops cook for about 10-12 minutes. Make sure to check the internal temperature of the pork chops, which should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
9. 9Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
