Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter to the skillet.

Step 3

Once the butter has melted and the pan is hot, add the pork chops. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 4

Turn the heat down to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the orange juice and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits.

Step 6

Stir in the Dijon mustard, honey, and orange zest. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly and thicken.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the orange mustard sauce over them. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the pork chops before serving.

Step 9

Serve the pork chops with the sauce drizzled on top, alongside your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
