Pork chops:
Mix salt, paprika and pepper in a small bowl, rub onto chops.
Heat oil and butter (or a non-stick cooking spray) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chops 3 minutes per side. Cover, reduce to medium and cook until inside is just pink and juices run clear when pricked, about 10 minutes; flip chops halfway thorough.
Mushroom sauce:
Melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, saute until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 10 minutes. (Cook them less if using canned mushrooms.)
Add thyme, zest and wine, and the broth/stock; simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
Stir in cream, salt and pepper, simmer until it lightly coats the back of a spoon. (Fat free half & half doesn't thicken well.)
Serve Mushroom Sauce over the chops with lemon wedges for garnish.
Serves 4.
**Cook time will depend on the thickness of the pork chops.
