Step 3: Make the Supreme Sauce
- Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Let it melt and mix with the pan drippings.
- Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom—this is where most of the flavor comes from.
- Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4: Finish Cooking the Pork Chops
- Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them.
- Simmer for 5–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for perfectly cooked, juicy meat.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
- Transfer the pork chops to a serving plate and spoon the supreme sauce generously over them.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
Tips for the Perfect Supreme Pork Chops
- Don’t overcook: Thick chops stay juicy when cooked to 145°F. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Customize your sauce: Add mushrooms, a splash of white wine, or a pinch of smoked paprika for extra depth.
- Rest the meat: Let the pork chops rest for 3–5 minutes after cooking to lock in juices.
