Easy Pork Chops in Mustard Sauce
I’m excited to share with you a delightful recipe for juicy pork chops smothered in a creamy mustard sauce. This dish is not only flavorful but also easy to prepare, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (boneless)
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 5 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup chicken broth or chicken bouillon
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp low-fat sour cream
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp granulated onion
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp lemon black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Oil for cooking
Instructions
- Begin by patting your pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear. Season both sides generously with paprika, granulated onion, garlic powder, lemon black pepper, and salt.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned pork chops. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Toss in the sliced onion and minced garlic, sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the pan and pick up any flavorful bits stuck to the bottom. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the Dijon mustard and sour cream until well combined.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let everything simmer for about 30-40 minutes.
- Once the pork chops are cooked, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. For a finishing touch, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives to add brightness and flavor.
- Transfer the pork chops to plates and spoon the luscious mustard sauce over the top. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, and fresh green salad.
