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 pieces shallots
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, tenting with foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the finely chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Allow the stock to reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and whole-grain mustard, whisking until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the mustard shallot sauce over them. Let the chops simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
