Easy One Skillet Pork Chops in Mushroom Gravy – A one pan meal your whole family will love! Ya can’t have too much gravy right? You can eat this guilt free, because there is no butta or cream in that beautiful pan.
Easy One Skillet Pork Chops in Mushroom Gravy
Sear the pork chops in a couple teaspoons of olive oil. Add onions and mushrooms, sauté for a few minutes. Toss in a bit of flour, some broth and throw the chops back in to simmer. Dinner done! One pan, and gravy…lots and lots of gravy! I used lean boneless chops but bone in will work just as well.
Tips for the best Skillet Pork Chops and Gravy!
- We like to use half chicken stock and half beef stock for the gravy. It brings out the intense mushroom flavor. But if chicken stock is all ya have, no worries. You will still love it!
- We used Crimini mushrooms which are Portobello mushrooms before they grow up. They have a much bigger flavor than white mushrooms.
- Do not salt your mushrooms until you are done browning them. Salting fresh mushrooms before cooking can make it more difficult for them to brown. If you salt before sautéing , you will never really know how brown your ‘shrooms can get!
How do you make that delicious mushroom gravy without butter or cream?
- It’s simply a mixture of beef and chicken broth that has been thickened with a bit of flour. If you want a little cream, just reduce the broth by a quarter cup and add that same amount in as cream.
Maybe you need something with a side of rice? This dish can be made with Pork Chops or Chicken. Creamy One Pot Chicken Rice and Mushrooms.

December 10, 2015 at 8:40 pmThis looks awesome. I love a one-skillet meal. I didn’t know about salting the mushrooms after, either! Great tip.
Kathi Kirk says
December 11, 2015 at 4:07 pmHi Marianne! I saw it on a food show years ago and it really does make a difference. If you have ever had your mushrooms be a little dry and tough and not caramelize properly…salt could be the culprit! Thank you for your note!

March 13, 2017 at 11:48 pmI just made this dinner, i didnt salt or pepper the onions and mushrooms, and I only salted one side of the chops, that was enough salt, i suggest don’t salt the mushrooms, too much sodium in Chops as it is and also broth, so go easy on the salt, but what I do like to do is add 2 teaspoons of butter to the oil to Sautee the mushrooms and onions.

Jeaninne Bruguier says
