Baked Pork Chop Recipe

Ingredienti

• 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

Preparazione

1. 1

   Heat a large skillet over medium heat on the stovetop.

2. 2

   Add 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. 3

   Remove the seared pork chops from the skillet and place them in a baking dish.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and cook them until they become softened, which typically takes around 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Toss in the minced garlic and cook it for about a minute. Then, add the heavy cream, oregano, cheese, and pepper flakes.

6. 6

   Sprinkle some salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for approximately 3 minutes or until it thickens to your desired consistency.

7. 7

   Pour the creamy sauce over the pork chops in the baking dish, ensuring they are well coated.

8. 8

   Place 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. 9

   Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
