  2. MUSHROOMS: Clean and slice mushrooms. Saute the mushroom, add the onion and garlic, cook until tender.
  3. SAUCE: Whisk in the flour until dissolved. Pour in the broth, heavy whipping cream, and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until sauce begins to thicken.
  4. COOK: Add the pork chops back to skillet and cover with the mushrooms sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Top with chopped parsley.

can I substitute for bone-in pork chops?

Yes, bone-in pork chops will work just as great (and usually are juicier than boneless). Be sure to cook the bone-in chops an additional 2-3 minutes longer per side, depending on the thickness of the meat. For thicker cuts, you’ll want to cook even longer. The safest method would be to check the internal temp of the meat, it should read 145°F.
