Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth (gluten-free)
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the gluten-free chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Let the broth simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the sauce to thicken it to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the creamy herb sauce over them. Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired and serve the pork chops hot with your favorite gluten-free side dish.
