Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 quarter cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and lift any browned bits. Allow the broth to simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, parsley, and thyme. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the creamy sauce. Cover and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the dish rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot with your choice of sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
