04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Creamy Mushroom Sauce

11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 - 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
13 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
14 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
15 - 1/2 cup chicken broth
16 - 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
17 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
18 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
19 - Salt and pepper to taste

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss radishes with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and dried thyme. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
02 - Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
03 - Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
04 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
05 - In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and mushrooms. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until mushrooms are browned and excess moisture evaporates.
06 - Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
07 - Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
08 - Return pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
09 - Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve pork chops with creamy mushroom sauce and roasted radishes on the side.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The sauce is so creamy and luxurious that you won't miss any heavy carbs, and honestly, it tastes indulgent enough to feel like you're cheating on your diet.
  • Radishes roasted until they're caramelized sweet and tender? They're your secret weapon to making this dish feel complete and restaurant-quality.
  • Everything cooks in roughly 45 minutes without stress, so it's perfect for weeknight dinners when you want something impressive without the fuss.
02 -
  • Don't skip drying the pork chops before searing—wet meat steams instead of browning, and you'll miss out on that golden crust that makes the whole dish feel intentional.
  • Radishes need the full time to roast and caramelize or they stay bitter and hard; rushing them defeats the entire purpose of including them.
  • The sauce will seem a little thin at first, but it continues to thicken as it simmers with the pork—resist the urge to add cornstarch or thickening agents.
03 -
  • Always taste the sauce before serving and adjust seasoning aggressively—a pinch more mustard or a squeeze of lemon juice can elevate everything from good to unforgettable.
  • If you have fresh thyme or chives on hand, scatter them over the finished dish instead of parsley for a different flavor profile that still feels bright and intentional.
