Cream of Mushroom Soup Pork Chops

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 pork chops (see note)
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter (divided)
• 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
• 1/3 cup chicken or beef broth
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• Chopped parsley (optional, to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Take the pork chops out of the fridge 15-30 minutes prior to starting the recipe if you can. Season them with salt & pepper and the garlic powder.

2. 2

   To a 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 up to 1" thick). Once the pork chops are done searing, transfer them to a plate.

3. 3

   Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter and the onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring fairly often, or until they're softened and lightly browned.

4. 4

   Add the chicken broth and condensed soup to the skillet and stir until smooth.

5. 5

   Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the pork chops back in, along with the juices left on the plate. Cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the pork is cooked through. If the sauce becomes too thick, simply add another splash of chicken broth.

6. 6

   Season with extra salt & pepper if needed and sprinkle the parsley on top if using. Serve immediately.
