Pork chops (4 pieces, bone-in or boneless)

Salt and pepper, to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp whole grain mustard (optional for added texture)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions:
Season the Pork Chops: Rub the pork chops with salt, pepper, and minced garlic on both sides.
Sear the Pork Chops: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
Prepare the Mustard Sauce: In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and scrape off any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and whole grain mustard. Stir well to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Finish Cooking: Return the pork chops to the skillet and let them simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes. Drizzle the lemon juice over the top and stir.
Serve: Plate the pork chops and pour the mustard sauce over them. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
