Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the mushroom sauce. If you want a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend. To reduce the sodium, opt for low-sodium cream of mushroom soup. Make sure to brown the veal chops well for a richer flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the veal chops with a side of mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables to complement the rich mushroom sauce. A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette also pairs well, adding a refreshing contrast. This dish pairs beautifully with Fran'S Lemon Icebox Dessert for a delightful finish.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the veal chops and sauce in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. You can also microwave them, but be careful not to overheat, as this can dry out the meat.
