Ingredients:

4 boneless pork chops (or pork loin)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
250g fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then sear them in the skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they soften and release their moisture, about 5-6 minutes.

Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine, and allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes.

Stir in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

Return the pork chops to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the pork is cooked through and tender.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Serving and Storage Tips:

Serve Schab duszony w sosie śmietanowo-pieczarkowym with mashed potatoes, rice, or bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if necessary to loosen the sauce.
Variations:

For a more intense mushroom flavor, try adding a variety of mushrooms such as cremini or shiitake.
To make the dish lighter, use a reduced-fat cream or substitute with sour cream for a tangy twist.
For a smoky flavor, try adding smoked paprika or a small amount of bacon to the sauce.
