Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 3 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnishing)
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the spicy brown mustard, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, paprika, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and brush both sides generously with the mustard marinade. Let the pork chops sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove the skillet from heat and carefully pour the chicken broth around the pork chops to keep them moist during baking. Add the unsalted butter to the skillet for a rich flavor.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes. This will help retain their juices.
Serve the pork chops warm, spooning the pan sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad.
