Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Whole-grain mustard
• 6 pieces Cornichons (small pickles), sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper, then lightly dredge them in flour. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the thinly sliced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 5

Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Dijon mustard and whole-grain mustard until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and let simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Stir in the sliced cornichons and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve the pork chops with the sauce spooned generously over the top, alongside mashed potatoes or crusty bread to complete the dish.
