Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops 1-inch thick
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions
- Prepare the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and brown sugar. Rub the mixture generously over both sides of the pork chops.
- Sear the Pork Chops: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until they develop a golden crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Stir in chicken broth, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Cook the Pork Chops: Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Always use a meat thermometer to ensure your pork chops are perfectly cooked without drying out.
- Let the pork chops rest after cooking to retain their juices.
- Use fresh spices for the best flavor.
- Sear the chops well to lock in moisture and create a flavorful crust.
- Adjust the seasoning to suit your taste preferences, adding more or less spice as needed.
