Garlic butter pork chops with lemon
Garlic butter pork chops are an easy one-pan dish with a delicious mushroom-onion mixture and a hint of lemon to brighten all the flavors!
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small sweet onion, diced small
- 1 8 oz. package white button mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 boneless, skinless pork chops, about 1 ½ inches thick
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium lemon, zest and juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add onion and mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until tender. Add garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds.
- Move the veggies to the side of the pan.
- Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Add pork chops to the center of the skillet and cook for 4 minutes, until well browned. Turn over and cook an additional 2 minutes.
- Zest the lemon and top each pork chop with lemon zest and a ½ tablespoon pat of butter.
- Cover the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature and remove from heat when pork has reached an internal temp of 140.
- Let the pork chops rest for 10 minutes.
- Squeeze lemon juice over pork chops and serve with mushroom and onion mixture on top.
Notes
How long your pork chops cook will depend on their thickness and your exact heat level. I highly recommend you use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. I have and love a digital thermometer like one of these.
