Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, add the pork chops in a single layer.
Step 3
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the orange juice and chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
Step 6
Whisk in the orange zest, Dijon mustard, and honey. Allow the sauce to simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Step 7
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the orange mustard sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat the pork chops and coat them in the sauce.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 9
Serve the pork chops hot with the orange mustard sauce drizzled over them. Pair with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
