Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops, bone-in or boneless
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth (or stock)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Step 3
Sear the pork chops in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Let the broth simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, mixing until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Step 7
Return the pork chops to the skillet, along with any juices that have collected on the plate. Spoon the sauce over the chops.
Step 8
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the skillet, and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 9
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired, and serve hot alongside your favorite low-carb sides, such as steamed vegetables or cauliflower mash.
