Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1-inch thick)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Shallots (finely minced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the butter has melted and is foaming, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer the chops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, shallots, and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce, cooking for 30 seconds to blend the flavors.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze any browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing the liquid slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, parsley, thyme, and lemon juice. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Return the pork chops and any accumulated juices back to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chops and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Serve the pork chops immediately, spooning the Diane sauce generously over the top. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
