Pork chops with dijon herb sauce

For those of you out there looking for a tasty, simple dinner idea, here ya go.
In the past I wasn't a fan of a simple pork chop. I just couldn't find a recipe that really captured the great flavor and moistness of the chop. Finally I came upon this awesome blog that I am excited to share with everyone, Gina's Skinny Taste. So far I have been very impressed with the recipes from this blog, especially this one for pork chops.

Pork Chops with Dijon Herb Sauce

1 tsp butter
4 pork chops (22 oz with bone, fat removed), 1 inch thick, trim all visible fat
1/2 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper
3 tbsp chopped onion
3/4 cup fat free chicken stock
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp chopped, fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, parsley

In a large frying pan heat the butter over moderately low heat. Season pork with salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium and add the chops to the pan and sauté for 7 minutes. Turn and cook until chops are browned and done to medium, about 7-8 minutes longer. Remove the chops and put in a warm spot.
Add the onion to the pan and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the stock and boil until it reduces to 1/2 cup, about 3 minutes. Stir in the mustard, herbs, and 1/8 tsp pepper. Put the chops on a platter and pour the sauce over the meat.





A variation of this recipe is Pork chops with mushrooms and shallots. Same idea different ingredients.


I have made this dish several times and we always enjoy it.
