Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or more, as needed, to coat skillet)
4 thick center-cut bone-in pork chops (about 12 ounces each) (you can sub with other types of pork chops, just see note below regarding reduced cooking times)
8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms
½ cup diced onion
½ teaspoon minced fresh garlic (about 1 clove)
1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, NOT diluted
½ cup milk, at room temperature
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Juice from ½ of a lemon

Instructions

Pat pork dry on both sides and season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Add the pork chops and brown on both sides until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (about 7-10 minutes per side). Remove the pork from the skillet and transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, cook the mushrooms and onion until soft (about 5-7 minutes). Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 more minute. Stir in the soup and milk; bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring regularly, for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in parsley and lemon juice. Spoon sauce over warm pork chops.

Notes

The total cooking time for the pork chops will vary greatly depending on the size, type, thickness and temperature of your pork when you add it to the skillet. I've shown thick center-cut bone-in pork chops here, which generally require about 7-10 minutes per side. If you're using very thin chops, they'll be done in as little as 2-3 minutes per side, while thick boneless pork chops will likely require about 4-6 minutes per side. As always, use a thermometer for the most accurate timing. Remove the pork chops from the skillet when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
