 Pan-seared pork chops with a smooth, creamy mustard sauce. An easy dinner that takes just 15-minutes to make!

I just realized I’ve posted about a thousand chicken recipes lately, and it was high time I shared a dinner idea with another favorite meat: pork!
Life is about to get crazier with school starting, sports, and holidays. We’re approaching my favorite time of year! So it’s my goal to share as many easy and fast dinner ideas with you all as I can to make your weeknights a little less crazy. Pork is so easy to cook and makes a nice change.

This recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks for quick dinner ideas: Cooking Light Cookbook. You pan-sear the pork, and then make a simple creamy mustard sauce that is spooned on top. It takes less than 15 minutes to make and it’s completely delicious!
The mustard sauce is mild–my two year old loves it! This is a really simple and yummy dinner your family is going to love!
Here are some of my other favorite pork recipes:
  • Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas
  • Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Pork 
  • Smothered Sweet Pork Burritos
  • Slow Cooker Teriyaki Pork
  • Cilantro Lime Pork Tacos
  • BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches
  • Shredded Pork Tacos
  • Spicy Pork Bulgogi
Consider serving this with:
  • Shredded Brussels Sprouts
  • Broccoli Salad
  • Roasted Vegetables

Ingredients
  • 4 ounces boneless pork chops (1/2 inch thick)

  4. Add chicken broth to the skillet and scrape up any remaining browned bits from the pork. 

  5. Add cream or half & half, dijon mustard, and lemon juice.

    This was incredibly good and easy! I’ve never cooked pork chops before this month and I’ve cooked them twice! I deviated only slightly from the recipe. 1) I dredged them in flour, oregano, parsley, basil, paprika, a pinch of red chili flakes, salt, and pepper. (Spices all dried) 2) I add fresh, chopped parsley to both the sauce and sprinkled on top. 3) I cooked them in a mix of olive oil and unsalted butter.

    So very, very good!

      ALSO! 4) I didn’t have any dijon mustard, so I substituted an equal amount of whole grain mustard, which was very good.

    Made tonight with heavy cream – came out just ok – wouldn’t make again. Sauce was watery, needs something to thicken it up. With left-overs I’ll probably add some parmesan cheese to thicken.

    I just made this tonight and it turned out nicely. I as nervous I didn’t cook the pork thoroughly, but it was tender, ever so slightly pink and moist. The sauce was a great compliment to it, too. This will definitely be a quick weeknight meal staple.

    Delicious! Will be a once a week meal. If you want thicker sauce, cook down for another 5-10 min ?

    Delicious! Only thing I changed was to make the sauce and then spoon some on the pork and bake it. It was absolutely delicious. Thank you for the recipe. We ate it with a Pfanne (I live in Germany). It is par boiled edge potatoes and then fried and then add steamed broccoli and red peppers. I kept some au jus to put on the Pfanne part. Everything was so great! Thanks again. My 2 and 1/2 year old even loved it

    Made it, turned out perfect. Will definitely make again. Quick, easy, and mostof all delicious. I made California blend veggies, and long grain wild rice. Both tasted great with the sauce also.
