Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops about 1 inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion finely chopped
2 cups sliced mushrooms button or cremini
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon flour optional, for thickening

Instructions

Prepare the Pork Chops: Season the pork chops with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a brush to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes. This ensures the pork chops cook evenly and become crispy.
Cook the Pork Chops: Place the seasoned pork chops in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for perfectly cooked pork.
Prepare the Mushroom Gravy: While the pork chops are cooking, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Make the Gravy: Stir in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. If you want a thicker gravy, mix the flour with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry and add it to the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the gravy is smooth and creamy.
Serve the Dish: Once the pork chops are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the pork chops with a generous ladle of the mushroom gravy on top or on the side. Enjoy with your favorite sides!

Notes

For a lighter version of the gravy, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
To make the pork chops extra tender, you can marinate them for 30 minutes before seasoning.
Feel free to use different mushrooms like shiitake or portobello for a richer flavor in the gravy.
If you prefer thicker pork chops, you can use bone-in pork chops instead of boneless.
