A quick and easy recipe for tender pork chops smothered in a rich and flavorful creamy mustard sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F/63°C). Cooking time will vary with thickness.
  3. Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tented with foil to keep warm.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and whole grain mustard. Whisk until well combined and the sauce begins to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the creamy mustard sauce over them to coat. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped chives if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure pork chops are cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safety and optimal texture.
  • Adjust the amount of mustard to your preference for a more or less pungent sauce.
  • For a lighter sauce, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but the sauce may be thinner.
  • Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
