Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 pork chops no thicker than 1 inch
For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon thyme
For the Sauce
  • ½ cup onion diced
  • ¼ cup white wine can sub chicken broth
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon coarse mustard or dijon
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons parsley fresh, chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium or large dutch oven, heat the butter and oil over medium heat.
  2. Combine the seasoning ingredients and rub it into the pork chops evenly on all sides.
  3. Once the oil and butter are melted and the butter is just slightly bubbling, add in the pork chops.
  4. Let brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove from the pan.
  6. Add the onion and cook until soft, scraping up any browned bits in the bottom of the pan.
  7. Add the white wine and cook until reduced almost completely about 5 minutes.
  8. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients, except the parsley, and add the pork chops back in, nestling them back into the sauce.
  9. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 6-8 more minutes, or until the pork chops register 160ºF on an instant-read thermometer.
  10. Season with the fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Keep the lid on your Dutch oven while cooking to keep moisture in. This helps the chops cook evenly and prevents them from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Use a flavorful rub or marinade to season the pork chops. Simple salt and pepper work well, but herbs like thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder can elevate the taste.
  • Incorporate onions, garlic, and your choice of vegetables (like carrots, potatoes, or apples) after deglazing. These will enhance the overall flavor and complement the pork.
