A rich and comforting dish featuring tender chops coated in a creamy Dijon mustard sauce. Perfectly balanced with tangy and savory flavors for an elegant yet easy meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 pork chops or chicken chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chops for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the pan.
  5. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard, mixing until smooth. Let simmer until slightly thickened.
  6. Add thyme and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.
  7. Return the chops to the skillet and spoon sauce over them. Simmer for a few minutes to combine flavors.
  8. Serve warm with your choice of sides.

Notes

  • Use chicken breasts or thighs instead of pork chops if preferred.
  • Add mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor and texture.
  • Substitute half-and-half for a lighter sauce.
  • Add a splash of white wine before the cream for extra depth.
  • Reheat gently and add broth or cream if the sauce thickens.
