Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in pork chops about 1 to 1.5 inches thick
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Meat Thermometer

Method
 

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season generously on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-5 minutes per side, until a deep golden-brown crust forms. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and reduce for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Return the seared pork chops and any juices to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over them and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  7. Stir in the fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: Bring pork chops to room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking for a more even sear.
Tip 2: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops are cooked to a perfect 145°F (63°C) for maximum juiciness.
Tip 3: For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of dry white wine after cooking the garlic and before adding the chicken broth.
