# What You'll Need:

→ Pork Chops and Seasoning

01 - 4 bone-in pork chops, 1 inch thick
02 - 1 teaspoon salt
03 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Roasted Radishes

06 - 1 pound radishes, trimmed and halved
07 - 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
09 - 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
10 - 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme

→ Creamy Mushroom Sauce

11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 - 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
13 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
14 - 0.5 cup heavy cream
15 - 0.5 cup chicken broth
16 - 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
17 - 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
18 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
19 - Salt and pepper to taste

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Toss radishes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
03 - Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
04 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove pork chops to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
05 - Reduce heat to medium in the same skillet. Add butter and mushrooms, sautéing for 5 to 6 minutes until mushrooms are browned and moisture evaporates.
06 - Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
07 - Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring continuously, until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
08 - Return pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
09 - Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve pork chops with creamy mushroom sauce and roasted radishes on the side.

02 -
  • Let pork chops come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking for more even searing
  • After searing, don't discard the fond (brown bits) at the bottom of the pan - this is flavor gold for your sauce
  • When checking pork for doneness, use a meat thermometer for accuracy - 145°F (63°C) is perfect
  • For extra-flavorful radishes, toss them in the seasonings while the oven preheats so they can absorb more flavor
  • The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools, so don't reduce it too much during cooking
