Pork Chops with Dijon Herb Sauce

What a fabulous weekend! We had some great weather the entire weekend. It was sunny and quite warm for March. I hope you all had a great weekend as well.

We tried quite a few new recipes this weekend so I am going to have quite a few posts today. We liked every single recipe we tried, so I strongly encourage you to give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

The first recipe I made was a delicious pork chop recipe. This is a weight watchers friendly recipe and is quite simple to throw together. We served the pork chops with skinny rosemary roasted potatoes and corn fritters.

Pork Chops with Dijon Herb Sauce
Serves: 4
Adapted by: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/06/pork-chops-with-dijon-herb-sauce-525-ww.html

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon butter
4 pork chops, trimmed of any fat (I used 4 thick, boneless pork chops)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
3 tablespoons chopped yellow onion
3/4 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon dijon mustard (I used grey poupon)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (I used fresh parsley and chives)

Directions:
-Take a large nonstick frying pan and heat the butter over low heat.
-Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and add the chops to the frying pan. Turn the heat to medium and cook about 7-8 minutes and then flip the chops and cook an additional 7-8 minutes, or until the chops are cooked completely. Remove chops from the skillet and keep warm on a plate in the microwave.
-Add the chopped onions to the frying pan and saute for 3 minutes.
-Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and boil for about 3 minutes or until the sauce has reduced slightly.
-Stir in the dijon mustard, herbs, and additional pepper. Combine all ingredients with a spoon.
-Return pork chops to the frying pan and drizzle the pan sauce on top of them.
-Serve

Enjoy! :)
