Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Stir in the Dijon mustard and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and release any browned bits.
Simmer the sauce for 3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them.
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Serve the pork chops hot, topped with the Dijon sauce and garnished with fresh thyme, if desired.
