Pork Chops with Dijon Mushroom Sauce



This is a quick, healthy and yummy pork chop recipe.  So if you want something different to do with pork chops give this a try.  Who says healthy food can't be delicious?


Pork Chops with Dijon Mustard Sauce
serves 4

4 boneless center cut pork chops, 3/4-1" thick with the visible fat trimmed
1tsp coconut oil
1/2c shallots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
1T Dijon mustard
2T parsley
1 1/3c chicken stock (reduced sodium)
salt and pepper

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.  Pat the pork chops dry, and season both sides with salt and pepper and place in the skillet.  Cook on the first side for 7 minutes and turn.  Cook on the second side for 5-6 minutes depending on how thick they are.  Set them aside in a plate, cover and keep warm.  To the pan add the shallot and garlic and saute for about 2-3 minutes or until they are soft.  Deglaze the pan with the chicken stock, scrapping the bits off the bottom. Stir in the mushrooms, Dijon and half the parsley, combining well. Season with some extra pepper.  Cook until the mushrooms are soft about 5 minutes.  Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper if needed.  Pour Sauce over the chops, top with the remaining parsley and serve.
