  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick (boneless or bone-in, per your preference)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped, plus extra sprigs for garnish
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Season and Sear Pork Chops (10 minutes): Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  2. Prepare the Sauce (10 minutes): In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, and bring to a simmer.
  3. Simmer and Finish the Dish (10 minutes): Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Simmer gently until the pork chops are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 6-8 minutes. If using, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and integrated into the sauce.
  4. Serve (2 minutes): Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve the pork chops hot, drizzled with the creamy rosemary sauce and garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs.

Notes

These creamy rosemary pork chops are a splendid blend of simple ingredients and complex flavors, making them a perfect main dish for any occasion.

The aromatic rosemary paired with the richness of the cream creates a sauce that’s both indulgent and comforting.

Serve this dish with a side of blistered veggies and crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Enjoy your delicious creation!

Pair this with...

Green Beans with Almonds

Begin by trimming the ends of your fresh green beans. Bring a pot of water to a boil, toss in the beans, and blanch them for just a few minutes until they're bright green and slightly tender. Drain them and dunk in cold water to stop the cooking process and retain their vibrant color. On the side, toast some roughly chopped almonds in a dry skillet until they're golden and fragrant. In the same skillet, add a touch of olive oil or butter, and sauté the green beans briefly to warm them up. Toss in the toasted almonds, give everything a good stir, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Garlic Bread

Grab a loaf of your favorite bread—baguette or ciabatta are classics. Slice it up, but not all the way through, so it fans out nicely. In a bowl, melt some butter and stir in minced garlic (as much or as little as you like), a sprinkle of salt, and maybe a touch of dried parsley for that extra flair. Generously brush or spread this garlicky goodness between the slices. Wrap the loaf in foil and pop it into a pre-heated oven. When it's golden and aromatic, pull it out and enjoy the buttery, crispy, garlicky delight.

Fresh Mixed Greens Salad

Start with a base of mixed greens, combining varieties like arugula, spinach, romaine, or any leafy greens you love. Slice up a handful of cherry tomatoes for a burst of juiciness. Next, peel and shave or thinly slice a carrot for a sweet and crunchy addition. Now, here's where you get to be creative. Raid your fridge for veggies – maybe some leftover bell peppers, slices of cucumber, or even some steamed broccoli or green beans. Toss them all into your salad. Drizzle with your favorite vinaigrette or dressing, give it a good mix, and you've got a vibrant, crunchy, and fresh salad that goes well with just about any meal.
