Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream until fully combined, bringing the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover with a lid and let them cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet once cooked and set them on a serving plate.
Allow the sauce in the skillet to simmer uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally.
Pour the sauce over the pork chops and garnish with fresh thyme leaves (optional).
Serve the pork chops warm with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.
