Servings: 2
Calories: 367kcal
Ingredients
- 2 bone in pork chops
- 8 ounces mushrooms, I used a mushroom blend but shiitake mushrooms are great
- 6 strips of bacon, cooked and diced
- 6 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chicken bone broth
- 13 ounces coconut cream, one can
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the bacon as noted.
- Heat a heavy bottom pan like a cast iron or dutch oven with 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium-high heat. Rub olive oil on each side of the pork chop and season with salt and pepper. You can even add your favorite all purpose seasoning here, too. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side or until their internal temperature has reached 145F.
- Reduce the heat to medium (the pot will be very hot so you might want to remove it from the heat to let it cool for a minute), add the chicken bone broth, bacon, mushrooms, onion, garlic, onion powder, and garlic powder to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened, the onions are translucent, and the mixture is fragrant. The chicken bone broth should be mostly absorbed by the mushroom mixture.
- Add the coconut cream (shake it first!) and increase the heat to medium-high, stirring constantly for 3-4 minutes until bubbly but not at a rolling boil. Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking.
- To serve: spoon the mushroom cream sauce over the pork chops and serve immediately.

- The best coconut cream - make sure you shake the can or stir it before using because it separates in the can!
