Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 quarter cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and lift any browned bits. Allow the broth to simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, parsley, and thyme. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and incorporated into the sauce.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the creamy sauce. Cover and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the dish rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot with your choice of sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
