Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops (boneless or bone-in)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (or dried rosemary)
- 2 medium zucchini, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, 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 the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Stir in heavy cream, dijon mustard, and rosemary.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove the lid and add the chopped zucchini and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the pork chops with the creamy vegetable sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy!
