Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Champagne or dry sparkling wine
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Set aside to come to room temperature while preparing the pan.
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to develop a golden crust.
Flip the pork chops and sear on the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove the chops from the skillet and place on a plate tented with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Allow it to melt before adding the minced shallots and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened, stirring often.
Add the chopped chipotle peppers and Dijon mustard to the skillet, stirring to combine with the shallots and garlic.
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the champagne, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir until fully combined, then allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, thickening slightly.
Return the pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet, spooning the chipotle mustard cream sauce over the meat. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the pork chops are fully warmed and coated in the sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
