How do you make Pork Chops with Pan Sauce?
- First season the pork chops on each side.
- Next, heat a skillet to medium heat with one tablespoon of olive oil, sear the pork chops 2-3 minutes one each side until they reach a golden brown color. Note: the pork chops do not need to be cooked through yet.
- Remove the pork chops from the pan and set aside.
- To make the sauce add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and sauté the garlic, scallion and mushrooms for 2-3 minutes. Add the broth and white wine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to reduce by half.
- When the wine sauce has reduced stir in the heavy cream and simmer over low heat. Add the pork chops back to the skillet, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
How to reheat Pork Chops without drying out?
To reheat on the stove, slowly warm the pork and sauce together on a low heat to prevent the chops from becoming dry or losing moisture.
In the microwave, warm your pork chops and mushroom sauce on a high heat in 30 second intervals until warmed through.
Whatever reheating method you use, be sure to check the internal temperature of the meat before serving, and do not reheat more than once.
How to Store Pork Chops with Pan Sauce
Cooked pork can generally be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Transfer your pork chops and cream sauce into a sealed container and refrigerate within a couple of hours of cooking to help maintain its freshness.
You can also store your pork chops and sauce in the freezer, just make sure to separate into portion sizes to avoid wastage, as once it’s defrosted it cannot be refrozen.

New resolution: in 2015, I resolve to make more pork chops. Starting with these! One pan dishes have my heart!
One pot recipes are pretty darn incredible indeed. I agree that I am kinda obsessed. Also this looks to die for!
I wasn’t obsessed with either until I started reading your blog. And now … let’s just say I LOVE this recipe. Everything about it!
Slow cooker and one pot meals are my favorite too 🙂 Love how hearty and flavorful these pork chops are! Definitely needed for the super cold weather we’re having here!
Count me as impressed! I love this meal, delicious!!!
Nice recipe. Thank you.
I can never, ever have enough one pot meals! And this one looks fantastic!!

As a huge fan of one pot recipes I can’t wait to add this to my menu! I love meals that are easy yet impressive and that creamy white wine sauce is calling my name!
Pork chops are the ultimate comfort food, especially when paired with some delicious mashed potatoes! Love this one pan meal, Annie! I definitely need to start making more of these, as it would make my weeknight dinner prep less stressful!

This looks so wonderful, Annie! I bet the white wine cream sauce complements the seasoned pork perfectly! I’m loving that you added mushrooms, too. Pinned!
Thanks so much Kristine! 🙂 This is a new favorite for sure!
This looks SO good! I love one pan meals too. The less clean up the better, right? And you’re right, mashed potatoes are very necessary with any meal that has a gravy. I make a little circle in the middle of my mashed potatoes and fill it with gravy too! When I was little my mom called it a mashed potato volcano. Can’t wait to make this!
To me, mashed potatoes and any kind of gravy is just the ultimate comfort food! I love that your Mom called it a mashed potato volcano, so cute!!
Gah, this looks delicious! I love anything cooked all in one pan. Its like magical! lol

I haven’t made pork chops in ages, but they were one of my favorites growing up. Now you totally have me craving them, and that sauce looks divine!
Thanks Rachel! They are my husband’s favorite so I am always trying to come up with new ways to prepare them!
Mmmm … oh yes, my socks would definitely be knocked off by this dish, Annie! This would be a nice one for Valentine’s night … beautfiul!
Yes! It would be a perfect dinner to celebrate Helen! 🙂
Yes! I too am a huge fan of the one-pan and I’m so glad you experimented to get this one just right. I never know how to cook pork, so I’m pinning this one to try soon!
Yay!! I think you will love it Sarah! Thanks so much!
I was JUST thinking about pork chops. They’re probably my favorite meat but I never know what to do with them. I’m excited to try this!
Great Amanda!! Sometimes I hear people say pork chops are too dry, but you definitely don’t have that issue with the white wine sauce!! 🙂
WOW, this is such a delicious looking dinner! I can’t wait to make this for my husband soon…maybe V-Day dinner!?
Thanks Jenn!! This would be a perfect Valentine’s Day dinner!
I definitely don’t make pork often enough!! Yours looks so delicious and the sauce sounds amazing! This is going on my to-do list!
I don’t think I need to tell you that this is my kind of meal. It looks so good, Annie! You know what else looks good? Your blog! I love the new look! xo
I love pork chops and am tired of making the same recipe…marinated in soy/teriyaki sauce…this looks and sounds delish!! However, I am not a fan of thyme, is there something I could substitute?
Hi Marah! The thyme isn’t overpowering in this dish, but you could certainly use your favorite herb in place such as rosemary, oregano, or marjoram! 🙂 This is really versatile so you can adjust it based on your preferences. I hope you enjoy it! It is definitely one of my favorites!
I’m always up for one-pot wonders like this, so these chops are right up my alley! Totally crushing on that gorgeous white wine sauce!
