💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Chicken thighs are often less expensive and still flavorful.

Cut pork loin roast into pork chops about three quarters to one inch thick.

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.

Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of oil on the pork chops and rub it in on both sides.

Mix 1.5 teaspoons of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper to create a spice blend.

Sprinkle the spice mix over the pork chops, rub, flip, and repeat.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add about 2 tablespoons of oil.

Sear the pork chops for about 2.5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium-low and add 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.

Add chopped yellow onion and 8 ounces of sliced button mushrooms to the skillet.

Cook for about 6 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and onions are softened.

Add 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour to the mushroom mixture and stir until evenly coated.

Gradually add 2 cups of unsalted chicken broth, one splash at a time, stirring until smooth after each addition.

Add 1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, 0.5 teaspoons of kosher salt, and a pinch of black pepper to the gravy mixture.

Return the pork chops to the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low, allowing them to braise in the gravy for about 10 minutes until cooked through.

Garnish with parsley before serving.
