Pork Chops with Dijon Cream Sauce
The end result was a pork chop that tasted like it could be served on a special occasion, but which was quick and easy enough to serve on a weeknight! It went together very quickly and was perfectly cooked. Not tough in the least. Perfectly tender and juicy.
My mother occasionally cooked chops for us when we were growing up. They were always very dried out and tough. Back in the day there was the concern that pork would carry trichinosis and so it needed to be very well cooked. That is no longer the case. It is still recommended that you eat it at least medium cooked, but you no longer have to cook all of the moisture and flavor out of it! 👠Not unless you happen to like your pork chops that way.
Simply cooked, perfectly lush and rich sauce. Tender and juicy. This was fabulous!
- 2 bone in pork chops, about 1/2 inch thick
- 2 TBS flour
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 TBS olive oil
- 1 TBS butter
- 2 medium cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
- 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1 TBS Dijon mustard
- 1/2 TBS chopped fresh rosemary
Any flavorless or light olive oil works well. I use avocado oil most of the time. I also make my own Italian seasoning. I make it up about 1/4 cup at a time and keep it in a dry dark place in a sealed container. That way I know my herbs are always fresh. You can find my recipe here.
My chops were about 1/2 inch thick with a nice tenderloin piece and of course bone in. There was not a lot of fat on the edge, but do slash it anyways. This helps to keep the chop from curling when you fry it.
My cloves of garlic were not really large. If you only have large cloves, then only use one unless you are really fond of the flavor of garlic.
I used whipping cream. In the U.K. you can use double cream or whipping cream. I use Better than Bullion Chicken stock concentrate to make my chicken stock. (It can be salty so do be judicious with your use of salt.)
I use a quality Dijon mustard from Franch. Maille or Grey Poupon are both great.
Whilst I don’t eat red meat a lot, I do enjoy a nice pork chop every now and then. When I do indulge I want to make sure I cook my chops in the tastiest way possible! Here are some other pork chop recipes that you may also enjoy!
