Author Notes
I got a big surprise when I opened the package of what the label claimed was chicken. My heart was set on Italian chicken with artichoke sauce for dinner. I had peeled potatoes to make the best mashed potatoes and had all my ingredients out. What I found in the package was the other white meat. Instead of chicken, we had impromptu pork chops with mustard sauce. Although it turned out delicious, I was still muttering under my breath... —Jas
Ingredients
-
4
large boneless pork chops
-
salt and black pepper to taste
-
a dashes
ginger powder (optional)
-
2 tablespoons
oil
-
1/2 cup
chicken broth

2 tablespoons

fresh lemon juice
-
2 tablespoons
Dijon mustard

Directions
-
In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and ginger (I always dust pork with ginger; it gives the meat a little extra something-something). Add chops to the pan and sear until browned, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
-
In the same pan add the chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and add lemon juice, mustard, and heavy cream, stirring until combined. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
-
To serve, spoon sauce over pork chops.
