Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, add the pork chops in a single layer.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Pour in the orange juice and chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
Whisk in the orange zest, Dijon mustard, and honey. Allow the sauce to simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the orange mustard sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat the pork chops and coat them in the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve the pork chops hot with the orange mustard sauce drizzled over them. Pair with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
