Steps:
- Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
- Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming subsides. Cook pork for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and centers read 145 degrees F with a meat thermometer. (Very thin chops might need as little as 2 minutes per side.) Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Add shallots and mushrooms to pan with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper. Sauté until mushrooms are soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Stir 2 tablespoons flour into the mushroom mixture and cook for 1 minute. Add Marsala and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 5-8 minutes, until sauce is slightly thickened.
- Stir in thyme, rosemary, and heavy cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add pork back to the pan with any accumulated juices and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Transfer pork chops to a platter and spoon sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and if desired, a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or noodles.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Opt for free-range, organic pork and a good quality Marsala wine.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the pork, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown properly. Otherwise, the pork will steam instead of sear.
- Use a good quality Marsala wine: Marsala wine is the key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality wine. Look for a Marsala that is dry and has a nutty flavor.
- Don't overcook the pork: Pork can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook the pork until it is just cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
- Serve immediately: Pork Marsala is best served immediately after it is made. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you wait too long to serve it, the sauce may be too thick.
Conclusion:
Pork Marsala is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its tender pork, rich Marsala wine sauce, and creamy mushrooms, this dish is sure to impress your guests.
