How To Make Cream of Mushroom Pork Chops in One Skillet
Step 1: In a small bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2: Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Then, season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Bone-in pork chops may take 4-5 minutes per side.
Don’t forget the edges. Hold the chops on their sides for 30-60 seconds to render them slightly. Once done, remove the pork chops from the pan, place them on a cutting board, and set them aside.
Step 4: In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms, diced onion, and thyme.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.
Step 5: Pour in the prepared cream of mushroom soup mixture and stir to combine with the mushrooms and onions.
Step 6: Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon some sauce over the top, cover, and simmer on low for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
Step 7: Top with chopped flat-leaf parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
Serve these cream of mushroom pork chops warm, topped with fresh parsley if desired. They pair well with a variety of dishes. Here are some ideas!

Expert Tips
- Pat the Pork Chops Dry: Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel before seasoning to help them sear beautifully.
- Render the Sides for Even Cooking: Render the sides by holding the chops on their edges while searing to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use Fresh Mushrooms and Onions: Don’t skip the fresh mushrooms and onions! They make the sauce extra flavorful.
- Simmer Until Fully Cooked: Cover the pork chops with the sauce and simmer on low until they reach 145°F internally. This ensures juicy, fully cooked chops every time.
