Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • to taste Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the pork chops generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Slice the onion into thin rings and mince the garlic cloves.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and cover with foil to keep warm.
  2. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping the bottom to lift the flavorful bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat to medium and stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, thyme, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning sauce over them. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. Plate and spoon the creamy sauce over the top, garnishing with fresh parsley.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the pork chops in the seasoning mixture for a few hours before cooking. Ensure your skillet is hot enough before searing the pork chops to get a nice crust. If you want a little heat, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce. Leftover pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
