Quick and easy pork chops with a creamy apple cider sauce, perfect for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 thick boneless pork chops (about 2 lbs total)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Sear the pork chops for 7-9 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (145°F internal temperature). Remove chops from skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce skillet heat to low. Add apple cider, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 1 minute.
  5. Stir in Dijon mustard, then add heavy cream. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. Return pork chops to the pan to warm through, or serve immediately. Spoon sauce over chops. Garnish with rosemary if desired.

Notes

  • Use room temperature heavy cream for a smoother sauce.
  • Ensure apple cider is unsweetened for best flavor.
