PORK CHOPS WITH CREAMY MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork chops all over with salt and pepper and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with foil and bake until cooked through and but still slightly pink inside, about 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the onions, garlic, and a pinch of salt and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the brandy, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits that cling to the pan. Return to the heat and cook until the liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, and cook until saucy, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat, stir in the sour cream and parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the mushrooms and sauce over the pork chops. Serve with steamed green beans if desired.
