Instructions
Pork Chops:
-
Whisk together ⅓ cup of olive oil, vinegar, garlic, thyme, parsley, and pepper flakes in a bowl. Place the pork chops in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour marinade over top.
-
Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning chops after 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the chicken broth in the bottom of a shallow roasting pan.
-
Remove pork chops from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard any remaining marinade.
-
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops for 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to the prepared roasting pan and top with onion slices. Cover the pan tightly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Mushroom Sauce:
-
Combine the chicken broth, milk, white wine, and cremini and white mushrooms in a saucepan over medium heat, then cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
-
Add the flour and bring to a boil, stirring often until thickened. Lower the heat and simmer the sauce until the pork chops are ready.
-
Remove the pork chops from the oven, then drain and discard the chicken broth. Pour the mushroom sauce over the pork chops, cover, and return to the oven.
-
Bake for about 30 minutes more until no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F.
-
Serve warm and enjoy.
