Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pieces shallots, finely chopped
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups dry white wine
- 0.75 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cups grape juice (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the pork chops with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tenting them with foil to keep them warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the shallots and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the chicken broth, grape juice, Dijon mustard, thyme, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
