Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive or avocado oil
- 4 bone-in pork chops 1-inch thick
- 1 1/2 tsp creole seasoning or seasoning salt divided
- 2 tbsp minced sweet onion or shallot
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the pork chops with 1 teaspoon of the creole seasoning, or more if desired.
- Once the skillet is hot, sear the chops 5-6 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145℉. If desired, for the final minute of cook time, sear on the fat cap side of the pork chop. Transfer the chops to a plate and set aside. Turn down the heat to medium.
- Once cooled, add the onion or shallot and sauté 1 minute. Add garlic and sauté another minute.
- Whisk in chicken broth, scraping up any solid bits from the bottom of the pan, and allow the mixture to simmer 5 minutes. This will give it time to reduce and thicken.
- To the broth, add dijon mustard and lemon juice, followed by the heavy cream and remaining creole seasoning. Simmer 1 minute, then turn off the heat.
- Serve pork chops with the sauce ladled on top.
