# Guide to Cooking:

01 - In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, salt, dried oregano, paprika, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to blend.
02 - Pound pork chops to 6 mm thickness. Lightly spray with cooking oil, then coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
03 - In a large 30 cm skillet, melt butter and warm oil over medium heat until shimmering.
04 - Place pork chops in the skillet in a single layer without crowding. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 63°C. Remove and cover to keep warm.
05 - Wipe skillet clean. If dry, add a little oil. Sauté mushrooms over medium heat for 3 minutes until tender.
06 - Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high, add chicken broth, and scrape browned bits from skillet. Boil for 1 minute, then stir in Marsala wine and salt. Simmer for 2 minutes.
07 - In a bowl, whisk cornstarch with water until smooth. Gradually whisk slurry into the skillet. Stir continuously until sauce thickens.
08 - Whisk in heavy cream and simmer 1-2 minutes until sauce is creamy and thickened. Adjust seasoning, adding more broth or cream if desired.
09 - Return pork chops to skillet, spoon sauce over. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and chopped parsley. Optionally, add a splash of lemon juice for brightness.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Pork chops are best cooked to an internal temperature of 63°C for safe and juicy results.
