🥗Healthier: chicken breasts

💰Cheaper: pork loin

Chicken breasts are leaner, while pork loin is often less expensive.

Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Dredge the pork chops in flour, shaking off excess.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt butter and add sliced onions and mushrooms.

Sauté until onions are translucent and mushrooms are browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Pour in chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release browned bits.

Stir in heavy cream, thyme, and paprika, then bring to a simmer.

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the mushroom mixture over them.

Cover and cook on low heat for about 10-15 minutes until the pork is cooked through and tender.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
