Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter to the skillet.
Once the butter has melted and the pan is hot, add the pork chops. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Turn the heat down to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the orange juice and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, honey, and orange zest. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly and thicken.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the orange mustard sauce over them. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the pork chops before serving.
Serve the pork chops with the sauce drizzled on top, alongside your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
