FAQ
Can I use boneless pork chops instead?
Yes, boneless pork chops can be used in this recipe. Just adjust the cooking time slightly as boneless pork chops cook faster than bone-in chops.
Can I use half-and-half instead of heavy cream?
Yes, you can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream, but the sauce will be slightly lighter and less rich.
What should I do if the pork chops are tough?
If the pork chops are tough, try cooking them for a little longer over low heat. Braising in the sauce for a longer time can help tenderize the meat.
Can I make this ahead?
Yes, you can prepare the sauce and sear the pork chops ahead of time, then store them separately in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, reheat and finish cooking the dish.
