Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover and let them simmer in the sauce for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and tender.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
