Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops, bone-in
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 teaspoons Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Season the pork chops generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the broth to simmer for about 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, chopped thyme, and parsley. Simmer the sauce for an additional 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them. Let them simmer in the sauce for another 5-7 minutes until they are cooked through.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
Serve the pork chops hot, topped with the luscious creamy herb sauce.
