Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pork chops (see notes)
Salt & pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter (divided)
7 ounces cremini or white mushrooms (sliced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream
2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach

Steps:

  • Take the pork chops out of the fridge 15-30 minutes before starting the recipe if possible. Season the pork generously with salt & pepper on both sides.
  • In a deep skillet, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes, and once it's hot, cook the pork chops for 3-5 minutes/side or until golden (3 minutes for thinner chops and 5 minutes for pork chops that are up to 1" thick). Once the pork chops are done searing, transfer them to a plate.
  • Add the remaining butter and the mushrooms, garlic, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Cook the mushrooms for about 5-6 minutes or until they've released their water and the water has just about cooked off.
  • Sprinkle the flour in and cook for about a minute, stirring nearly constantly.
  • Add in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir it well so the flour dissolves and let it cook for 1-2 minutes or until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Stir in the cream.
  • Add the pork back into the skillet and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened up a bit (let the sauce bubble a bit but not furiously boil) and the pork chops are fully cooked through (145F minimum). Keep in mind the pork's temperature will continue to rise once you stop cooking it.
  • Add in the spinach (I just lift the pork chops up with tongs and tuck it under them). Take the pan off the heat and let the spinach wilt for a minute or two. Season the sauce with extra salt & pepper if needed, then serve immediately.

  • To save time, use pre-cooked bacon or pancetta. You can also use a food processor to quickly chop the shallots and garlic.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. Just be aware that the sauce will be thinner.
  • To make the sauce even richer, you can add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese or a dollop of sour cream.
  • If you like your spinach more wilted, cook it for a few minutes longer. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
