Ingredients with Measurements:
- 4 bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Special equipment needed:
- Large skillet
- Tongs
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
3. In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and soft.
4. Add the thyme leaves, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
5. Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the onion mixture over the top of each chop.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
7. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
