Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover and let them simmer in the sauce for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and tender.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
