Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops, bone-in or boneless
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth (or stock)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Sear the pork chops in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Let the broth simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, mixing until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, along with any juices that have collected on the plate. Spoon the sauce over the chops.
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the skillet, and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired, and serve hot alongside your favorite low-carb sides, such as steamed vegetables or cauliflower mash.
