Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (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 the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium, then add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the Dijon mustard and maple syrup, mixing well.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze it. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and allow the sauce to simmer for another 3-4 minutes until it slightly thickens.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Cook for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove from heat and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired, and serve hot with the maple mustard sauce spooned over the top.
