Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1-inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the Dijon mustard and sour cream until well combined. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chops cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Serve the pork chops hot with the mustard sour cream sauce drizzled generously over the top.
