Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

Pork Chops
  • 4-6 center cut boneless pork chops 3/4 - 1 inch thick
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp olive oil
Pan Sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Method
 

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels then generously season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork chops until well browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the now empty skillet and once melted, add the chopped onion and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and softened, about three minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked onions and stir to coat.
  5. Return the heat to medium-high and slowly stir or whisk in the broth, thyme leaves, and any accumulated pork juices from the plate.
  6. Bring to a bubble, stirring constantly until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in Dijon mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately over seared pork chops. Enjoy!
