Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Stir in the celery and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, and chicken broth.

Step 8

Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet and stir to combine.

Step 9

Nestle the seared pork chops back into the skillet, cover with a lid, and reduce heat to low.

Step 10

Simmer for 25-30 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through, until they are tender and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F or 63°C).

Step 11

Remove the pork chops from the skillet, increase the heat to medium, and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
