Tender, juicy Pork Chops in a Creamy Brandy Mushroom Sauce is an easy recipe that delivers gourmet flavor. A great one-pan dish.

This recipe starts with pan-fried pork chops that are perfectly seared. Using the same pan you combine mushrooms, garlic, shallots, cream and chicken broth to make a heavenly mushroom sauce. A splash of brandy takes these pork chops from everyday to gourmet! Tender pork chops smothered with mushroom gravy goes perfect with Garlic Mashed Potatoes or Parmesan Oven Roasted Potatoes.

How to cook perfect Pork Chops with Brandy Mushroom Sauce.

  • I like to use a cast iron skillet to pan fry the pork chops. It is great for getting a great sear on the chops and some tasty browned bits sticking to the bottom of the pan which add great flavor to the cream sauce.
  • Don’t overcook the pork chops or they will be tough and dry. Cook only until internal temperature of 160ºF.
  • If you are using thick pork chops, fry until you have a great sear on the chops, then transfer to 350ºF oven to continue to cook until done. Prepare the sauce while the chops finish cooking.
  • The brandy adds great flavor to the mushroom sauce, but if prefer it can be left out or substituted with white wine.
  • I prefer the milder tastes of shallots but regular onions will also work in this recipe.
  • Heavy cream is used in this recipe as it thickens the sauce up without having to use any kind of thickening agent, as well as delivering superior creamy taste.

    Bone in or boneless pork chops?

      Kelley, it doesn’t really matter, both will work. When I made it and photographed the recipe for my blog I used boneless.

    This is also a low carb recipe as well. You might want to mention that in your description of the dish because there are so many of us out there looking for new recipes.

      Hi Mona, if you want non-alcohol, just add a bit more chicken broth if needed. For other alcohol options, bourbon, sherry, cognac, madeira or white wine will work. You will have a slightly different flavour but still yummy.

        I used the cognac option and scallions. Go with what you got. Simply yummy.

        P. S. I always double the gravy. Don’t risk dying skinny.

    How long do these cook in the oven? Maybe I’m missing something. Thanks

      Hi Hilma, cook time will vary depending on thickness of pork chops, thin ones about 5-7 minutes per side, thick ones are best seared then finish baking in 350º oven for 30 minutes or until done. Internal temperature 160º using a meat thermometer. Enjoy

    I want to make these tonight! Looks amazing. Do you think I can get away with substituting green onions for chives and yellow onions for shallots?

    I made this dish today for the next 4 dinners. Subbed white wine for brandy and added rosemary and thyme, finished the chops in the oven with the mushrooms, onions and gravy. It came out amazing! Great flavor for very little effort!

    I made this last night. The sauce is so delicious, but I would use pork tenderloin next time, cutting it into medallions after it is cooked. I used thick boneless pork chops. Did not over cook them at all, but I found them to be a bit bland. Pork tenderloin is much more flavorful. I served with roaster Brussels Sprouts and tiny red roasted potatoes. Very easy, and delicious meal for the whole dam (except the one that can not stand Brussels Sprouts – LOL)
