Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup cranberry sauce (jellied or whole berry)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the cranberry sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine and create a smooth sauce.
Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve the pork chops with the cranberry mustard sauce drizzled on top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
