Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 6 thick-cut boneless pork chops about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick, or 6 to 8 ounces each
  • 2 slices bacon cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter divided
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 1/2 cups white mushrooms sliced, about 8 ounces
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened and cubed
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare a baking sheet with a lining of parchment paper and set a wire roasting rack on top.
  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, and paprika. Pat the seasoning mix evenly onto both sides of the pork chops. Place the seasoned chops on the roasting rack.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  • When the pork chops have 15 minutes left in the oven, begin preparing the sauce.
  • In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until just tender-crisp. Transfer the cooked bacon and its rendered fat to a small bowl. Do not wipe out the skillet.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. When it is melted, add the garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes, just until fragrant.
  • Add the mushrooms to the skillet and toss to coat with the butter and garlic. Sauté 2-3 minutes, until the mushrooms begin to soften. Add the remaining butter and continue cooking until the mushrooms are a rich golden brown, about 3-4 more minutes.
  • Slowly pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to combine and scraping up any browned bits. Return the bacon and drippings to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the sauce reduces slightly.
  • Add the cubed cream cheese to the skillet. Cook and stir gently until completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Let the sauce simmer on low until the pork chops are ready to serve. Taste and adjust pepper as needed.
  • Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest on the roasting rack for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the chops to a serving platter and generously spoon the sauce over them. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve.
