Pork Chops with Creamy Mushrooms Sauce Ingredients
This recipe is so simple and requires only a few ingredients:
- Pork chops – I highly suggest using bone-in pork chops because it turns out tender and juicy. Boneless pork chops tend to cook faster but are just as delicious.
- Olive oil and butter – to sear the pork chops and cook the mushrooms.
- Mushrooms – choose your favorite type and clean them just before cooking. I used white mushrooms, but brown or cremini mushrooms are a great choice.
- Heavy cream – to make the sauce extra creamy. Replace with half and half for a low-calorie mushroom sauce.
- Fresh parsley – freshly chopped to garnish.
- Thyme – fresh or dried. You can use Italian seasoning instead.
- Garlic – freshly minced garlic for the best flavor.
- salt and pepper – to taste
How to Cook Perfect Pork Chops in a Pan?
This pork chop recipe requires no marinating, yet searing it in a delicious combo of butter, and olive oil gives a fabulous flavor and crispy brown delicious edges.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and sear them in butter and oil. Remove the meat and keep it warm.
- In the same pan, sauté the mushrooms, garlic, and season with herbs. Add the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Return the pork chops to the creamy mushroom sauce and cook for a few more minutes until tender.
I only season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Enjoy juicy, golden pork chops. After the meat is ready, it’s time for the creamiest sauce in the world.
To get the best flavors, sauté the mushrooms, garlic, and herbs in the same fat that’s left after cooking the pork chops. Those browned bits left over in the skillet will increase the flavors!
Can I use Bone-in Pork Chops?
This recipe is perfect for bone-in pork chops. Using pork chops with bone-in will increase the cooking time with about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Remember that cooking time depends on the thickness of the meat. If you have a meat thermometer, use it in the thickest part of the meat. It should read anywhere between 145F (medium-rare) to 160F (well-done).
What Mushrooms to Use?
Use any mushrooms you have on hand. I love white or brown mushrooms, cremini or portobello mushrooms. Canned sliced mushrooms work well too.
Mushrooms are one of the best low carb vegetables you can eat on a keto diet. One cup of mushrooms (70g) has only 2.3g carbs.
How to Serve Pork Chops
Imagine dipping a super soft low carb bread roll in the creamy sauce or a toasted piece of our bread. Serve it with a side of cauliflower mashed potatoes or steamed green beans!
Storing Options
- Fridge – Store leftover pork chops in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Ready to make these delicious looking pork with mushroom sauce. I will also do the keto bread and rice cauliflower. Can’t wait for dinner. Thank you. I subscribed for more awesome recipes.
It’s absolutely delicious i added onion too
I didn’t have mushrooms But this was still delicious! Everyone cleaned their plates including my picky 6 year old!
I am so glad you all liked the recipe. It’s great to know that this recipe is great without mushrooms.
Excellent, Will be making again.
Can you make this in the oven instead? What would you have to do to do that?
You could probably do it in the oven but still have to do the searing on the stove. It’s a super-fast recipe. No need for the oven here.
Delicious recipe I wanted my sauce a bit thicker so added cream cheese and a teaspoon of chicken stock powder for extra flavour would definately recommend this recipe
Excellent !!!
Made the pork chops with mushroom gravy… AWESOME. Served them with asparagus and cauliflower mashed potatoes with garlic. My husband could’ve licked the plate
Thank you for such a quick and flavorful recipe. Keep up the good work!
It was really good and my husband did lick the plate!

I just started Keto and the recipe was easy and delicious. Rest of the family loved it too. Served it with riced cauliflower. Thanks for the recipe.
Made this for my wife & me yesterday, it was so delicious! My wife almost inhaled it LOL will definitely be making this again
Amazing & delicious recipe! We made it with garlic, parsley & fresh mushrooms 1 day & garlic, cilantro & canned mushrooms another day & it was yummy both times. My husband & I literally licked our plates. Served it with broccoli & cheese & green beans with bacon. Discovered that the bacon added extra flavor (even though it didn’t need it) when eaten with the chops & sauce. Heavenly!
Absolutely delicious!! Loved the creaminess. I added just a little sour cream and it was amazing! My kids devoured it!
Came out gr8
Thx❤️
Just made this for dinner and YUM! Neither of us like Mushrooms, so we made it without and it was SO good! Putting it on the rotation and trying more of your recipes!
So so good!! I made exactly according to your recipe. Perfect! Thank you!
One of the best foods I have made in months. I highly recommend this recipe.
This recipe was very good. The mushroom sauce was really outstanding. Next time I plan to double the sauce and add extra mushrooms so I can serve the mushroom sauce over Keto bread toast points.
