Creamy Dijon Pork
Warning! Not everything in this recipe is IC friendly. I allow myself cheat days occasionally and know my limits. I can handle and LOVE dijon mustard every once in a while. I was tired of my same old pork recipes so I googled white sauce pork recipes and found this one at SimplyRecipes.com. WOW WOW WOW!!!! Maybe it's my love for Dijon Mustard, but this was so delicious!!! I think it'd still be good cooked friendly (sans Dijon Mustard) if I was being more careful.
Ingredients:
2 Boneless Pork Chops
1/4 Cup Green onion... white & green parts
1-2 Cups Chicken Stock
3/4 Cup Half & Half
1 Tbsp Butter
1 Tbsp Parsley
2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard (Unfriendly: omit if it bothers you)
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cornstarch
Salt & Pepper
Directions:
Sprinkle Chops with Salt and Pepper. Heat them in Olive Oil in pan over medium high heat. Pan sear them till brown on each side (about 2-3 minutes per side). Add Green onion and saute along side about a minute or two until soft. Add Chicken Stock and bring to a simmer. Cook until Chops are cooked through (about 10 minutes) flipping occasionally. Remove Chops and cover in foil to keep warm. Add the half and half & butter and simmer for 3 minutes to reduce. Add the cornstarch if you want thicker. Add Dijon Mustard and Parsley, mix well. Pour over Chops and enjoy!
Serves 2.
