Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork chops (boneless or bone-in)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (or dried rosemary)
• 2 medium zucchini, chopped
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Stir in heavy cream, dijon mustard, and rosemary.

Step 6

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the lid and add the chopped zucchini and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve the pork chops with the creamy vegetable sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy!
