Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops, bone-in
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 teaspoons Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.

Step 3

Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the broth to simmer for about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, chopped thyme, and parsley. Simmer the sauce for an additional 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them. Let them simmer in the sauce for another 5-7 minutes until they are cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors.

Step 9

Serve the pork chops hot, topped with the luscious creamy herb sauce.
