Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1- inch bone-in thick pork chops, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, I use high-heat safflower
  • For the Pan Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped shallots
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400 F (200 C).
  • Pat the pork chops with paper towels to dry and season all over with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the pork chops. Sear the chops for 4 minutes on one side.
  • Flip the chops over and transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Roast the chops for 6 to 7 minutes or until they register 145 F on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop.
  • Remove the chops from the oven and transfer to a platter; tent with foil.
  • Pour off any excess drippings, add the butter, and place the pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 2 minutes or until the shallots have softened.
  • Add the wine to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, for a minute or two, until the wine has almost all evaporated.
  • Add the chicken stock, cream, and Dijon mustard and cook for 2 minutes longer or until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
  • Add the parsley and pour the sauce over the chops. Serve immediately.
