A quick and comforting dinner featuring pork chops seasoned with ranch mix and smothered in a creamy mushroom gravy. Perfect for busy weeknights and cozy meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (6–8 ounces each)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 ounce)
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups low sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream or cream cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ small onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and ranch seasoning mix. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chops to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
  3. Lower heat to medium. Add remaining butter to the pan, then sauté chopped onion and minced garlic for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release moisture and start to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously to eliminate raw flour taste.
  6. Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and allow to thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Stir in sour cream or cream cheese until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Nestle pork chops back into the skillet, spoon some gravy over them. Cover and simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  9. Remove lid, spoon more gravy if needed, and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.

Notes

For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with cornstarch or almond flour. Use small-curd cottage cheese as an alternative to sour cream for added protein. Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing pork chops to get a golden crust. If gravy thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth to loosen it.
