Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Parsley
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate, loosely covered with foil.
Reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any browned bits. Let the broth simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and fresh thyme. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the lemon juice and return the pork chops (and any juices from the plate) to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chops and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
